The Hive at Rothamsted Conference Centre
Classroom in a Conference Centre · Private space
About this space
The Hive, named after the extensive work done at Rothamsted Research around bees, is an interactive workshop area where groups can immerse themselves, explore ideas, learn and find solutions.
The room enjoys a bright, vibrant yellow color scheme, with moveable whiteboards (these should be requested at the time of booking), a refreshments point outside the room, flexible seating, and multiple screens. It has two large, wall-mounted screens which can connect to two laptops.
The room is usually set up in theatre style with 40 scholar chairs. This created a flexible events space, perfect for workshops, training sessions, seminars, or more informal meetings.
Our scholar chairs are fully mobile with a foldable work surface, that can accommodate right or left-handed users. The work surface can be folded neatly to the rear. Integrated under-seat storage and a cup holder mean you can relax in the knowledge that there won't be any coffee spills and plenty of space to work.
