The first level, which consists of about 14,000 square feet, will continue to be used by Roots Community School, who have been an integral part of this space for about a year.

The second level, which consists of approximately 16,000 square feet, will see the most interior changes of all three floors. This level will be converted into a Coworking Office Space consisting of both private office spaces of various sizes for rent and open concept community coworking spaces as well. Approximately 30% of the total floor area will be circulation space. The third level, which consists of approximately 10,000 square feet, will see the second largest interior change, also being converted into a Coworking Office Space. Like the second level, this floor will be remodeled to consist of both private rentable offices as well as open concept coworking space.
