Renouf Foyer

This panorama shows the west half of the Foyer, with the large folding doors open to the level 2 promenades and main stair entry from the Fletcher Challenge Foyer below. One set of dividing folding doors is shown shut, the other open - when both are shut they form a sound lock between the two halves of the venue.
