The 2014 link to architectural drawings of the change to six screens no longer works. However, Takero Shimazaki Architects' site has some photos and, at the bottom of the page, some drawings of how the new screens fit into the space:

As other comments suggest, it was re-named Other Cinema earlier than the 2004 stated in the description. I have a ticket for ‘Other Cinema’ from 4 January 2003 (for a re-showing of Hal Hartley’s ‘Trust’).

I think there was a brief period after Odeon took it over in 2000 when it was known as “Odeon Shaftesbury Avenue”, before it became “Odeon Covent Garden”: I have a ticket for ‘Hamlet’ from 29/12/2000 with “Odeon Shaftesbury” printed as the name.

Just because I was trying to find the date of “the ABC management buy-out which brought back the ABC name again”, it was around May 1996.
