Last week Jeff, Anitra and I visited our new history room in Villa Street Yeronga. Not many sleeps now until we are in! Here are images of some of the room’s features:
The whole building is bright and airy – a feel good place. Check out the spaces …
Stairs or lift take us to the first floor
In the midlle of the centre is a welcome area.
Our history room is directly across from the stairs and lift.
Standing inside our room looking our through our ‘shop-front’.
Our shop-front has a large area above for posters and artefacts, and a shelf below for things like books.
There is a built-in high quality projector with hearing loop for sound directly to hearingaids.
Looking at the wall across from the projector.
In the centre of the room are powerpoints and ports to add to those around the walls.
The back of the room leads out on to a verandah.
The verandah!
The welcome area has tea/coffee making facilities …
And seating spaces in the welcome area.
Lovely toilets and showers.

Again the welcome area showing its high ceilings – a lovely light-filled space.
Pointing to the space where our sign will go.
And the design for our sign
It still looks like a building site on the outside … but it wont be long!
Downstairs are customer and locked car-parking areas – and our storage room.
Customer parking area …
The locked parking area.
ASHG’s storage room – plenty of space!
The centre also features a large meeting area that seats around 100, and a roomy balcony space.

Really looking forward to ASHG’s move to our history room. Hope to see you there soon!
