Club Regent’s new event centre is a mechanical marvel that seats over 1,000 people. It can also bend and fold-in on itself to accommodate smaller parties and banquets.
The full theatre fits up to 1,400 people. But with the flip of a switch, the floor collapses, retracts and the seats are either swallowed up or reshuffled like a row of dominoes to suit smaller events.
The 11,580 square-foot venue cost more than $51 million to build.
