The James Clerk Maxwell Room combines Georgian grandeur with everything you need for productive meetings. Right off our entrance hall on the ground floor, the room greets you with daylight streaming through tall windows and a striking portrait hanging above the original fireplace. We've kept the best of the building's character here, with classic cornicing and warm red carpeting, while adding practical touches like our modern chandelier that provides excellent lighting for note-taking or presentations. The neutral wall tones create a calm backdrop that helps maintain focus during long sessions. The room works beautifully for different group sizes and setups. We can arrange it boardroom-style for 16 people when you need everyone around one table, classroom format for 14 if you're running training sessions, or theatre-style for up to 20 guests for presentations. Our events team knows exactly which configuration suits each type of meeting and will have everything ready before you arrive. For technical requirements, we've installed reliable WiFi throughout, plus a projector, flatscreen TV, and PA system. Our in-house technical support can help connect laptops or set up video calls, having worked with every possible device combination over the years. The Upper Gallery connects directly to this room, which proves particularly useful when groups want somewhere to continue discussions over coffee or need a separate space for breakout sessions. Ground floor access means everyone can reach the room easily, including wheelchair users, and there's parking nearby for those driving in. Our venue sits right in Edinburgh's centre, with Waverley Station just a 10-minute walk away. The Edinburgh Catering Company handles refreshments, from morning coffee through to working lunches, adapting menus to suit any dietary requirements your group might have.
