How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management were v supportive leading up to a private book launch event. This included being responsive to queries and eager to help throughout e.g. there were a couple adjustments required to the temperature and lighting in the event space. Most settings are controlled centrally i.e. not from within each event space and therefore less straightforward to configure. They were really helpful in resolving the issues which helped alleviate some event planning stress.
