Seminar room for everyday use

The reason that we have set up a seminar room in this location is to enable the space to be integrated with RE/SP2 so that the space can be used effectively even when it is not being used for seminars. When this location is not being used, it can be used freely as a place for meetings, taking meals, and discussing matters with others. It is a convenient location because a resting area has been set up next to it when in use for seminars.
