Staging graduation

Loughborough University - Summer Graduations.

 

Celebrating its centenary this year, Loughborough University held its summer graduation ceremonies in the Sir David Wallace Building. Usually a sports hall and a venue for sports including basketball, archery, netball, volleyball and badminton, the building needed a transformation from a sports hall to a graduation hall.

 

Around 3,000 students from the University's three faculties graduated during a total of eight ceremonies, plus as part of the centennial celebrations two Honorary Ceremonies, for over 1,000 former students, the graduation hall looked spectacular, with the focal point at the front of the room, a stage. The carpeted Multi-dek platform was decorated with floral bouquets, and set out with lecterns at each end and chairs for the University Academics including the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, the Dean and Heads of Department.

 

The Multi-dek stage proved to have the necessary qualifications of its own to meet the requirements for the event.  The Loughborough Graduation ceremonies could offer wheelchair access, stepped access, and a large carpeted stage area, helping to transform the hall into an amazing graduation event space, Multi-dek was the platform where these Loughborough students received their academic honours.
