			"Structural and Miscellaneous Information"

			'''Walls'''

			The wall to the toilet corridor is made from chipboard. Probably 18mm thick. There was significant water damage visible when the cafe was renovated pre-Fringe in 2008. However, after abatement of the visible mould, the wall was judged to be sound enough to be left in place.

			The wall in the servery to the box office is constructed from stone and is safe to bolt into.

			The wall to the auditorium is very dodgy. This will be addressed pre-Fringe 2008.

			'''Plumbing'''

			The main sink in the servery is fed from one of the water tanks. Probably the one above dimming. There are stop cocks for the taps located under the sink. Simply turn the tap on and turn the tap until it cuts off. Though obviously be careful as you definitely don't want to unscrew it to far the wrong way. The stop cock for the handwashing sink is located next to the door to the auditorium about 7' off the floor.

			The cold water supply pipe runs from the kitchen, along the wall of the corridor from the Cafe to the auditorium, through the wall of the Cafe, own the wall next to the auditorium door and down under the floor. It then runs across the floor and enters the servery from the East. It supplies the handwashing sink first, and then feeds into the main sink. An additional line runs down the back of the cabinets to the coffee machine.

			The sewage line is handled by standard PVC piping like you'd find anywhere. The coffee machine has a dedicated line that feeds into the PVC piping under the sink.

-The servery contains two fridges, a freezer, a large chiller cabinet, microwave and a really posh coffee machine.

The freezer should be defrosted a couple of times a year, it’s really only useful for the fringe so might end up being disconnected through the year.

-A [[Communication#Panic_Alarm|panic alarm]] was installed into the café under the till which connects to the panic alarm in the box office in 1997. The alarm sits underneath the till (the little grey box that has a red light on the front) to activate it push the button underneath/on the bottom of the box and the red light should turn on.
