The Multi-Purpose Dividable Room, the largest space at Inspire, serves as a versatile hub for community activities including corporate meetings, trainings, seminars, video conferencing, instructional sessions, and small private functions. It can be combined with the presenter space to accommodate overflow or serve as a prep area for presenter space events. Equipped with a dividable wall, the room can be split into two independent spaces when needed, with each section having its own control capabilities. When the divider is open, it transforms into a single large area. Additionally, the room will showcase local artists’ displays, offering opportunities for Airdrie’s professional artists to exhibit their 2-D artwork and promote local talent. The exhibition space will rotate approximately 4-8 times a year according to the City’s exhibition schedule.
