The club opened in December 2002 and had at the time of closing, three levels of floor space, three segmented rooms, and a VIP floor. It had a capacity of 5,000 if including the club 'status', which was part of the building but was advertised as a second nightclub in the earlier years. Otherwise, the capacity was 4,500, with a 2,200 capacity in the downstairs section, and a 2,300 capacity in the higher levels.<sup id="cite_ref-gazette1522534_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gazette1522534-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-gazette3875681_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gazette3875681-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The higher floors were tiered, with the VIP section being at the top of the tier overlooking a balcony section below which itself overlooked the dancefloor.
