New co-working space now open in Kelowna’s Innovation Centre

A new resource is now available for Kelowna’s tech and business community.

Spaces is now open at the Innovation Centre, bringing a unique co-working facility to the area.

Spaces spans across 23,000-square-feet, and has seven different environments to suit any kind of work, from meeting rooms, private phone booths, open seating areas, and a coffee shop for people to congregate at.

A spokesperson for Spaces told NowMedia that the space includes three meeting rooms, nine reserved co-working desks, and 50 open co-working desk and private offices.

According to the Kelowna Innovation Centre, which is located at 460 Doyle Avenue, the facility encompasses private offices on the fourth and fifth floors, as well as day use area on the first floor.

Wayne Berger, CEO of IWG Canada and Latin America, which owns Spaces, said they’re are excited to be launching in Kelowna given the unique “ecosystem” that just continues to evolve in the region.

“The best way I can describe it is that Spaces is these really great, sophisticated, co working environments,” Berger told NowMedia back in December.

“When you walk into a Spaces, what we try to do is build this really great ecosystem of people, whether they’re a new startup or a fortune 500 company, they have a chance to gather together, they can collaborate in great open environments.”
