The venue is a complete rethink of what an entertainment experience should be. It promises to blow your mind emotionally and sensually. The sound system represents a completely new approach to sonic design in a public entertainment environment with huge numbers of the most accurate and detailed studio monitors delivering flawless sound. The system for live music reproduction is the culmination of thousands of sonic experiments by the world foremost experts in audio acoustics. With a 1200 capacity the venue fuses unsurpassed sound quality with experimental, esoteric video and lighting resources. Great efforts have been made to ensure that this next generation venue is perfect for experiencing with unprecedented intimacy the regions best and global talent. Events are planned for appearances from (bands) and DJ sets from Sven Vath, Hot Chip Jesse Rose, etc. having overseen the management of many of the large late night entertainment venues across the UK, Laboratory MD Tony Rigg had this to say; "It's a thing of the past for venue operators to make large profit on ticket sales for events. We have no intention of doing it and they will have to follow suit or become obsolete. We will give our customers real value for money where the vast majority of the admission fee will translate directly to what we spend on the entertainment. We will give the people what they want and we are listening."
