On Thursday 27th February 2020, the Level 5 BSc Business and Events Management students went to 106 Commercial Street for a venue site inspection. This venue belongs to the Old Truman Brewery catalogue of venues. 106 is a stunning former 19th century stable building, which sits opposite the famous Old Spitalfields Market and is centred around a triple heighted atrium. 106 boasts exposed brickwork and many original features including the stable areas themselves, spread over 3 floors, timber beams and beautiful arch entrance, perfect for an organisation looking for a unique urban venue in Central London.
Students were tasked to gain an understanding of the venue space with a view to using the space for their assessment pitch. They needed to consider the logistical ease of set up and breakdown, any obvious focal points and how the case study organisations branding would align with the venue.
Students were able to take photos and gather ideas for their assessment which is to design and theme an event around a given case study.
