The StartWell Event Studio
Engage your audience with our unique stage experience
The StartWell Event Studio is a pre-configured environment for high impact presentations. We've played host to panel discussions, round tables, keynote addresses, interactive performances, team-building activities and much more.
Our stage features a unique cyclorama (cornerless) wall which blends into the floor - creating a seamless backdrop for your presentations, plus we have 3 ceiling mounted projectors and theatrical lighting to create atmosphere and relate instant branding and important information.
Space to socialize, outside of presentations
Our main entrance leads past coat-check, through an open concept kitchen/bar and to a social hall with washrooms. You can entertain guests before and after your presentation sessions - for standing cocktails, networking and even seated dinner service.

Venue Layout
The venue comprises of the entire building at 230 Niagara Street - its a detached building with 4 drive-up parking spots on the lot (bordering Niagara Street.)
With two double-glass-door entrances from the parking, there is a lot of flexibility to direct guest flow. They can enter the main enterance and exit from the studio side if need be (great for pop-ups.)
The main entrance leads into a welcome reception space and open concept kitchen area - behind that is a social space which is, by default, setup with 6 black high tops and 12 stools. This area can be reformatted by our team to support seated dining, row seating or tabled conference setups.
Just 3 steps down past 2 washrooms from the 'Innovation Lab' social side of the building, you step into the presentation studio - its a lofty space with 16ft tall ceilings (with theatrical lighting and load-bearing truss.)
In the North-East corner of the studio we have a cornerless corner - this unique infinity effect makes the two walls merge with the optical illusion of them disappearing. With our 3 massive projectors turned on, the atmospheric effect on seated audiences is amazing.
