When you think of Cora, you probably think of our innovative, sustainable office spaces designed for growing businesses and thriving teams. But did you know our buildings also double as dynamic event spaces?
From networking nights to community-wide celebrations, our spaces have been home to events that inspire collaboration, connection, and creativity. Whether you’re a tenant looking to host your own gathering, or a community partner searching for a unique venue, Cora has an event venue to fit your vision.
Here’s a look at some of the ways our spaces have been transformed:
Networking, Presentations, and Tours at evolv1
The TRANSFORM Project kicked off the first day of their 2025 symposium at the Cora Hub in evolv1. Centered on the theme “Accelerating Sustainability Through Small and Medium-Sized Businesses,” the event was a perfect match for the space’s focus on innovation and environmental leadership. The TRANSFORM team welcomed international collaborators, partners, and members of the local community for a day of networking, presentations, and learning. Adrian Conrad, Cora’s COO, led technical tours of evolv1, offering insightful discussions on how small businesses can drive big sustainability ideas forward.
A Showcase at Cora HUB
The Collective, in partnership with Teknion, hosted a vibrant furniture showcase at Cora HUB. With a student-inspired theme, guests explored furniture displays, design tools, and patterns—all while enjoying refreshments in a sleek and welcoming space.
Townhall Versatility
Our townhall space is one of the most flexible areas in our portfolio. Mobile tables allow it to transform from a boardroom, to a classroom, to breakout stations. Tenants and community groups alike use it for presentations, workshops, and team sessions that benefit from adaptable design.
Workshops at 375 Hagey Blvd
When the University of Waterloo needed space for a 150-person workshop retreat with panel discussions, presentations, and catering, they turned to our main floor at 375 Hagey Blvd. This vacant space became the perfect backdrop for learning, collaboration, and networking.
Community on the 375 Hagey Green Space
Outside at 375 Hagey’s green field, events come alive under the open sky. From our annual Tenant Appreciation BBQ, to the R+T Park’s monthly Beer Gardens, to the Accelerator Centre’s Tech Connect Mixer, the field has become a go-to spot for gatherings that blend business with community spirit.
