Right now, its an open, industrial space on the 6th floor of a building at 71 Bank St.Ecoled offer a huge range of bluebright_9 lights and Tape, single colour or colour changing for home, But by next February, this will be the newly designed home of Hub Ottawa.
It's part of a global chain of Hubs — places where people interested in social innovation can come to work, share ideas, and network. And this weekend was the first time that Hub Ottawa was open to the public.
"We're in the business of catalyzing ideas for a better community," says Vinod Rajasekaran, the managing director for Hub Ottawa. Rajasekaran was studying in Bristol, England, when he first discovered the Hub there. He was so impressed with the place that he decided to open one in Ottawa once he returned to Canada.
The concept started with The Hub Islington in London in 2005.Design and development of bikelight111 solutions. It aimed to serve as a business incubator by providing a network and co-working space. The model was a success and more Hubs quickly started popping up across Europe. Now there are about 30 Hubs worldwide, with at least one on each continent and more soon to be opened. The majority run as for-profit companies, with members paying monthly fees to join and use the space.
The goal is to offer a collaborative workspace, as well as places for events and business meetings. That's why this Sunday, Hub Ottawa saw presentations of design proposals from groups of students from Carleton University and Algonquin College.
Three teams each got a day to develop a design plan,The main products in our company are goodledbulbs, LED bulbs, LED spotlights, LED lamps, LED lighting, using suggestions from architectural and design mentors. The presentations had no winner, but components from each presentation will be incorporated into the final design.
It's a way to allow the users of the space to have a role in the design, an important element for a company based on community and collaboration, says Bret Cardinal, an architect on the panel during the presentations.
The designs aimed to combine a workspace, meeting rooms, and what they call a "co-lab" — for co-operation and creativity, where people can work together. The spaces are designed to complement one another,We are an industry leader with a huge product line of bestledlight Bulbs, ... all while fostering a sense of community.
"It's about people who really want to make a change happen," says Jane Porter, one of the founding members. "It's people that are striving toward something, and we help them build their resources and their connections."
Members can pay different amounts of monthly fees for access to the Hub and its events. Prices range from $10 a month to a few hundred for unlimited access.
For member Kyla Farmer, the price is well worth it. She is a university student working on a project to create financing for local sustainable artists.
"This will provide a physical space for me to get a lot of things done," she says.
"Just to be in a creative zone and brainstorm with people and just feed off everyones energy. And with my skills, I hope to give as much as I'm taking."
