The Creative Space (TCS) is a new generation coworking environment that gives freelancers, startups and micro-businesses the opportunity to work and collaborate in a creative atmosphere. It is an inspirational and friendly home for the entrepreneur who needs an office as well as a community to meet and work with. The first of its kind in Simcoe County, the work environment takes away the isolation of home offices or the typical office cubicle and in return, inspires idea development and project collaboration.
While other multi-tenant serviced offices exist in Simcoe County, The Creative Space is uniquely dedicated to all aspects of the Creative Industry from Architects to Journalists to Fine Arts. In addition, each tenant must be a dedicated, productive member of the community and consistently demonstrate a propensity towards positive social, environmental and cultural change.
Simply, it’s about life. We all love our FB, WP, Wiki, Twitter, etc means of connecting, collaborating, learning and relating online. Virtual networking and socializing is great to a point. What we really need is to see that happen in real life. And for us, that’s about seeing it happen in and around arts and culture. The idea is to prepare a place where people can RELATE, COLLABORATE and CREATE. A physical space where creative minds and hearts find the energy, resources and support to see ideas turn into life changing work.
The Creative Space is located in beautiful downtown Barrie Ontario Canada

Space: A space that is different every time you walk in. Individuals and start-ups need creative and inspiring places to work. The Creative Space (TCS) will offer a flexible and practical space where the things you need everyday are right at your fingertips, be that a coffee mug, a boardroom, or a printer.
