What values need to be aligned in order for my group to be in the space?
We want to share public space for people working towards justice. We love local leaders who want to get something done.
To note: Even though we love birthdays and graduations, the space is not available for personal and private use.
Does it cost money to use the space for an event?
No, we open our space for free.
When is the space available for use?
Our space is available for use during the week and by request on weekends.
How much notice do we need to book the space?
Requests for event space require a minimum of two weeks notice.
What is the space like?
You can find picture and descriptions of our space here.
What can I expect around accessibility?
We have a button-activated automatic door in the back of the building.
Our doorways are at least 32 inches.
Our bathroom is a small single stall room with a rail alongside one wall next to the toilet.
We have a variety of chairs for people to use. Some are on wheels and can adjust height and others are stationary, at the height of 18 inches. We also have couches that are fairly firm.
There are no flashing strobe lights currently in use.
We have accessible parking in the back lot of Stara Collaborative. You can see our parking guidance here.
We are always growing our accessibility with the building owner and team.
What is going on with the kitchen?
Stara’s kitchen is for prep. This means there is no stove or oven, but a fridge, countertop space and a place to wash dishes. People can always use it. We trust you to clean and tidy after yourself and your guests.
Can I bring in food?
Of course! We also have snacks in our coworking space. We do ask that you take unused food with you. You will know more about the dietary needs and potential allergies of your food than we will.
What tech is available for presentations?
We have display TVs for presentations. We have Wi-Fi available and accessible via small signs on tables.
How’s the parking?
