Lobby and Reception

Upon exiting the lifts, you are greeted by a clean, well-lit lobby with a contemporary design. To your right are bathrooms. Straight ahead is a security desk permanently occupied by two members of Ministry security. All visitors and employees must sign in here before proceeding to the reception area; if they are not cleared by security, there is no further access to this floor.

Work Area and Cubicles

The right-hand doorway from the lobby leads directly into the open floorplan where most Level One employees spend their time. The floor space is bright and airy with natural light (magically natural light, that is), and the furniture is simple and modern. Although the desks are clustered in groups, which leads to limited privacy, there are plenty of quiet places to hold a private conversation. Pull up some chairs in the conference room or the break room, if necessary, and if really pressed, muffling charms are encouraged. The desks are clustered by division to encourage cooperation and teamwork, so play nice!

Level One Break Room

Need a break? A snack? A chance to stretch your legs? You can find all you need here in the level one break room. Located on the opposite side of the corridor from the private offices, the break room is an area for employees to sit, relax, and not have to think about work for once. There are plenty of comfortable chairs and tables for several employees to sit together and have a chat.

Conference and Meeting Rooms

Off the smaller corridor are two large gathering rooms: a conference room and a meeting room. The conference room is more of a lecture hall arrangement, perfect for presentations, press conferences, and full department meetings, as the seating here magically increases and adjusts in tiers to suit the number of room occupants. There is a lectern near the front where a speaker may stand.

Wellness Room

During her time as an Auror, Senior Undersecretary James enjoyed the benefit of having a place to go to work out her frustration and gather her thoughts quietly. Although she is no longer working on Level Two, she brought those work practices with her - one of the smaller conference rooms has been transformed into a 'wellness room'.

Office of the Senior Undersecretary

Although the tastes of the Minister and his former Undersecretary run to lush and crowded, the office of the current Senior Undersecretary is a quiet pocket of calm in an otherwise frantic world. The furniture is all modern clean lines and cool colors, with abstract art that compliments the space but is not intended to make the viewer work too hard. Genevieve James doesn't go in much for creature comforts, you can assume, although her chair is far more comfortable than the two squared off across her desk. In spite of being underground, the room is filled with natural light and the pleasant green smell of growing plants and moving water.

Office of the Minister for Magic

Welcome to the office of Charles Hollingberry, current Minister for Magic and appointed leader of the wizarding government in the United Kingdom. The office is located at the far end of Level One, and it is only accessible through the Senior Undersecretary's Office where guests are all escorted to a gaudy but comfortable waiting room. Help yourself to one, or several, of the individual packets of yogurt covered raisins tied with thin red ribbon found in the bowl on the coffee table. The Minister has been informed of your visit will be with you soon.
