Need a place to work or study? There are many spaces available on a drop-in basis at all locations.
We also have three spaces at our downtown location that can be booked up to 7 days in advance for a maximum of two hours, and can accommodate up to 10 people. These spaces are free to book, though there is a modest fee for those providing paid tutoring services.
