Need a private space for a meeting or your small group gathering?

Our “First Come, First Serve“ rooms are flexible, private spaces designed to meet a variety of needs. Whether you’re working remotely, hosting a small group, studying, or simply looking for a quiet place to make phone calls, these rooms are available to support you. Offered in reservable 2-hour time blocks, they provide a convenient and comfortable option for individuals or small gatherings during our open building hours.

When you arrive, please stop at the desk as you enter through Door F, and one of our hosts will be happy to help you reserve a private room.

Free Celebration Spaces

Our atrium and indoor playground are available at no cost during open building hours, providing a welcoming space for all types of celebrations. Whether you’re gathering for a birthday, milestone, or simply spending time together, these spaces are open and accessible to everyone.

Please note that both areas remain open to the public during your celebration. The indoor playground is reserved for Pathways Learning Academy Monday–Friday from 10:30–11:30am, making this a great time to utilize the atrium or coffee shop for the food portion of your gathering. We’re glad to offer a space where you can celebrate and connect.
