The newly inaugurated room is located in the Three Faculties Building, part of the Faculty of OiZ. The space features an elegant, modern design with Amcor’s logo prominently displayed. The dark-colored walls give the room a sleek, professional ambiance. At its center stands a striking floor-to-ceiling white markerboard, ideal for creative brainstorming sessions. Instead of traditional benches, the room is furnished with comfortable, flexible chairs that can be easily rearranged to suit various meeting formats. The overall design encourages dynamic interaction, making it perfect for presentations, workshops, and collaborative work.
