About Oglesby Atrium
400 Standing / Reception
150 Seated
The Oglesby Atrium spans the full height of our New School Building, creating a dramatic vertical space where contemporary architecture meets practical versatility. This 250m² room draws natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the polished floors and crisp white walls throughout the day. The warm wood paneling that runs along sections of the space softens the modern aesthetic, creating an environment that feels both professional and welcoming. We regularly transform this space for exhibitions, where the open layout allows for creative installations and easy flow between displays. Corporate dinners for up to 150 seated guests benefit from the architectural drama overhead, while the acoustics handle both background music and speeches with clarity. For cocktail receptions, we can accommodate up to 400 guests who appreciate the room to circulate and network across the expansive floor plan. Our in-house bar service operates from a dedicated area within the atrium, offering everything from morning coffee service to evening cocktails. The catering team works closely with event organisers to design menus that complement your gathering, whether that's canapés for a product launch or a three-course dinner for corporate celebrations. Discreet power access points throughout the space support technical requirements for presentations or performances without trailing cables disrupting the clean lines of the room. The atrium's position just one minute from Manchester Victoria Station means your guests can step from the platform into our venue within moments. This central Manchester location places you in the heart of the Medieval Quarter, though inside the atrium you're surrounded by distinctly 21st-century design. The space adapts remarkably well to different event styles, from morning conferences that use the natural light to evening celebrations where programmable lighting transforms the atmosphere entirely.
