The Institute has two seminar rooms:

• Seminar Room 1, which seats 108 people, is in the main building. View Seminar Room 1 Equipment Instructions (.pdf)
• Seminar Room 2, seating 42 people, is upstairs in the Gatehouse. View Seminar Room 2 Equipment Instructions (.pdf)

Blackboards

There are blackboards just about everywhere in the Institute (including the lift and the toilets...). Seminar Room 1 has six boards (four horizontally, two more above the central pair). The four central boards are obscured by the main projection screen when it is in use; The two side boards are partially obscured by the relevant OHP when it is in use. Seminar Room 2 has two boards (one above the other). The upper board and the projection screen cannot be used simultaneously.

Transparencies (OHP)

Both seminar rooms have OHP equipment. Seminar Room 1 has three screens which may all be used simultaneously. The central screen doubles as the projection screen for computer, video and film-slide. Seminar Room 2 has a single screen. It doubles as projection screen for computer, video and film-slide.

Projecting Computer Displays

Floor-boxes and cables are provided in each seminar room for connecting a VGA-compatible computer monitor to a ceiling-mounted projector. A portable projector is also available upon request. For best results, connect the computer to the projector first, and then turn the computer on. The optimal screen display resolution is 1024x768.

Film Slide Projection

A 35mm film-slide projector is available in each seminar room upon request.

Playback of VHS Video & Audio Cassette Tapes

Each seminar room has a video cassette player. The player in Seminar Room 1 can play PAL, NTSC and SECAM. The player in Seminar Room 2 only plays PAL. Playback of audio tapes can be done in both seminar rooms.

Voice Amplification

A radio microphone is available for use in each seminar room. Seminar Room 1 has a PA loudspeaker system, although this is rarely needed in practice. The microphone in Seminar Room 2 is only for recording. Both rooms are fitted with an Inductive Loop system for the hard of hearing.
