The 3,200 sq. ft. main hall with 18 ft. ceilings is suitable for dances, concerts, wedding receptions, and other large gatherings such as flea markets and craft fairs and is currently also used for floor hockey and gymnastics. Occupancy of the hall is established at 266 for a sit down event and is capped at 300 for other events. The hall is lit by a bank of florescent lights that run down each side of the hall. There are a row of four 500 watt incandescent lights down the centre of the hall which can be controlled by dimmer switches.
While the hall can be entered through two side doors, the main entrance opens into a 1,366 sq. ft. lobby which is separated from the main hall by a pony wall and also includes a bar area equipped with a fridge. There are also toilet facilities located in this area and each male and female bathroom has four stalls. Adjacent to the hall is an 800 sq. ft. kitchen that has a serving window which opens into the main hall. This kitchen is equipped with a large refrigerator, stove and microwave.
Downstairs in a ground level basement area is a fully functional 660 sq. ft. commercial kitchen with large refrigeration units and a gas top range and ovens, freezers and a commercial sized dishwasher. This kitchen space is available for daily or weekly rentals and can also be used in conjunction with special events. All utensils and dishes and other kitchen equipment is available but is regulated (counted) before and after each event to ensure return of all items.
The OAP space which is adjacent to the downstairs kitchen can also be accessed from the ground level at the side of the building. This space includes 2 meeting rooms of approximately 1,000 sq. feet, a small kitchen area and an open lobby area. There are two toilets in this area.
