The Space

Four rooms, one hire

The building is hired whole. There is no configuration where another party is in the next room, because there is no next room.

The Main Hall

The original casting floor. Eighteen feet to the trusses, brick on three sides, and a north wall of industrial glazing that does most of the lighting work until about seven.

Seated: 180 at rounds
Standing: 250
Floor: 6,400 sq ft
Ceiling: 18 ft to truss

Best forWedding receptions, conferences, launches, anything that needs one room to hold everyone.

The Mezzanine

The old crane gallery, running the length of the east wall. It looks down over the hall, which makes it the ceremony overflow, the head table, or the room the speeches are given from.

Seated: 40
Standing: 60
Access: Stairs and lift
Rail: Original steel

Best forHead tables, breakout sessions, a quieter bar during a standing reception.

The Annex

A self-contained room off the west corridor with its own entrance, washroom and door that locks. It is the getting-ready room on a wedding and the green room on everything else.

Capacity: 16
Entrance: Private
Fit-out: Mirrors, rail, sink
Included: With full-day hire

Best forGetting ready, green room, speaker prep, a place to put the gifts and the coats.

The Yard

The loading yard, gravelled and strung, on the south side away from the road. It is where people go to stand outside, and where a ceremony goes when the forecast holds.

Standing: 120
Surface: Compacted gravel
Cover: None — weather call at noon
Curfew: 10:00 pm outdoors

Best forOutdoor ceremonies, cocktail hour, the smoking corner nobody wants to talk about.

In the building already

Set and struck by our crew on every hire. If something here is not needed we do not put it out; the price does not change either way, and we would rather say that than pretend it is a discount.

In-house AV: Line array with four subs, twelve-channel desk, two handheld and two lavalier radio mics, a 5,000-lumen laser projector and a 16 ft screen. An operator is included for the first four hours.
Lighting: Dimmable pendants over the hall, forty LED uplights on a wireless desk, festoon in the yard, and full blackout on the north glazing for daytime screenings.
Power: 400A three-phase at the north wall with 63A and 32A distro on site — enough for a film unit without a generator in the yard.
Furniture: Twenty 60-inch rounds, twelve 8 ft trestles, 200 cross-back chairs, and a 24 ft modular stage in 8 ft sections. Set and struck by our crew, not yours.
The bar: Two service bars, licensed and staffed by us. It is exclusive — the bar is ours on every booking, and that is not negotiable because the licence is in our name.
Load-in: Twelve-foot roller door straight onto the hall floor, level with the yard. No stairs, no lift booking, no carrying a stage through a lobby.

Getting in and out

Load-in: Twelve-foot roller door from the yard straight onto the hall floor. No step, no lift, no booking a service corridor.
Step-free: Level entry throughout the ground floor, accessible washrooms, and a lift to the Mezzanine.
Parking: Sixty spaces in the yard and on the north lot, plus the municipal lot two blocks south after six.
Curfew: Licensed and amplified until 1:00 am inside. Outdoors in the Yard stops at 10:00 pm, which is the bylaw, not our preference.
