Savoy Place in London is due to reopen autumn 2015 following completion of its two-year-long, £30million refurbishment. The meetings diary for next year will be opening next month.
Savoy Place has been transformed throughout with flexibility and energy efficiency at the core. All meeting facilities have been refurbished. Technically, the latest IT, AV and wireless connectivity have been installed throughout plus facilities for event filming, live streaming and production.
Meeting rooms are on four floors of the building. The main feature room is probably the enlarged Riverside Suite on the third floor overlooking the River Thames with a terrace and accommodating up to 335 guests.
The Watson-Watt Lecture Theatre is a new addition on the second floor with tiered seating for 175 delegates with an exhibition suite and business suite alongside.
The Heritage Library is new event space on the first floor with two new riverside balconies and accommodating up to 145 delegates with two boardrooms adjacent.
The main Lecture Theatre remains on the ground floor sharing the space with five smaller meeting rooms and a range of boardrooms and breakout rooms. The Main Lecture Theatre will accommodate up to 451 delegates.
Savoy Place has been home to the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) for over 100 years. It is located in Savoy Place just off the Victoria Embankment close to Waterloo Bridge in central London and is within walking distance of a clutch of tube stations.
