FAQS

  • Can I bring my own food?

    Yes! We encourage you to bring your own food or have the caterer of your choice for your event. Our commercial grade kitchen should have all that you need to cook and warm foods. There is 1 industrial sized refrigerator. Please note: the building does not have a freezer for public use. 

  • Does the building have a PA system or sound system?

    No. Unfortunately, the building is not equipped with a sound system, speakers, or microphone, so please bring your own. We do, however, have a projector screen that pulls down from the ceiling. You are welcome to use this during your rental.

  • Does the building have wi-fi? No. Not currently. Many renters end up using a wi-fi hotspot.
