About The Center
Offices
Low cost offices are available to organizations whose missions include working for social and environmental justice. All office space is currently rented, but occasionally offices do become available. If you are interested in an office at The Center, please contact us to be put on our waiting list.
Meetings
The Center has two fully accessible community spaces suitable for meetings. Our top floor accommodates up to 40-50 people, and a smaller space is available on the parking lot level. If your purpose aligns with our mission, and you need a space, please fill out our building use form to schedule a meeting at The Center.
Conferences & Trainings
Our community spaces may be used for conferences and training events. Each community space is equipped with a kitchen or kitchenette, making an all day, or multi-day event feasible. Please fill out our building use form to schedule a conference or training at The Center.
Accessibility
At The Center, we see accessibility as a social justice issue. With the recent addition of an elevator, all three floors of The Center are fully accessible. There is a dedicated handicapped parking space in our lot, and there is an ADA compliant restroom on each floor of The Center.
We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
COVID-19 Measures
With the help of a Syracuse Industrial Development Agency grant, The Center was able to address the health and safety impacts of COVID-19 on our Resident Organizations (ROs), and the individuals who come to work in our building each day. Some of the signage that had been placed throughout the building during high periods of COVID-19 transmission has been removed in response to the current reductions of COVID-19 in the Central New York region, and we are not disinfecting door handles daily anymore, but frequent cleaning of all surfaces is still a part of our building manager’s routine. PPE is available to ROs and visitors, as needed, and touch-less hand sanitizer dispensers can be found throughout the building. Furnace filters were upgraded, and each floor has a MERV UV air filtration system. The safety and well-being of those who work in and visit our building is of the utmost importance.
