08. Shared Space - Multi-purpose Room

Provide access to a multipurpose room

Rationale: Providing a schedulable multipurpose room with adequate capacity and community programming supports activity-based working, increased connection to the local area, higher levels of activity, and enhanced communication — contributing to stronger community ties, social engagement, and decreased risks of chronic conditions related to stress and sedentary lifestyles.
