Our Viewing Facility, The Lab, is now open and available for hire! Located in the heart of Bristol in the famous Paintworks site just 5 minutes by car from Bristol Temple Meads Station.

State of the Art Viewing Facility

The space:

Our state of the art viewing facility consists of a viewing room and a usability lab (respondent room) with a one way mirror adjoining the two rooms. The facility is fitted with the latest HD recording equipment, is fully sound-proofed and can accommodate a range of different use environments. Both the viewing room and usability lab are fitted with specialised lighting which can be dimmed or brightened to suit your lighting environment needs.

The Lab is available for hire as a standalone viewing facility (viewing room and usability lab) with a manned reception to welcome all participants and assist with consent capture. HD video and audio recording is included in the rate of hire and refreshments are also provided for you and your participants.

Outside of the lab, there is a large lounge which serves as a participant waiting room and/ or additional working space. Our reception is manned at all times and our staff prepare your recordings each day in-line with your desired respondent coding.
