— DUAL PURPOSE, SINGLE VISION

Situated between the Central Library and Studio Bell, Platform features two main components to its remarkable architecture—the innovation centre and the parkade, with additional ground floor public spaces for all to enjoy.

— INNOVATION comes to life

It takes a village to grow an innovation system. Central to the activity that’s shaping the city’s innovation economy is happening right here in East Village with Platform Innovation Centre.

The Platform Innovation Centre is an innovation basecamp to all— a single point of access to resources, supports, programming and events to help startups successfully launch and grow their business.

Platform is where ideas come to be nurtured, refined, grow and thrive and East Village provides the doorway to the innovation ecosystem.

The Platform Innovation Centre

The Platform Innovation Centre occupies two floors of the building and boasts 50,000 sq ft of space serving Calgary’s innovators. Included in the space are resources for Platform’s 70+ tech & innovation partners, meeting & workshop rooms, spaces to prototype new ideas, a pitch stage. Basically everything under one roof to enable key collisions between entrepreneurs, investors and founders.

The parkade

While we have plenty of cars and commuters now, the parkade can be converted to residential or commercial use when there is less need for parking in the core. The parkade features 500+ parking stalls (including 6 electric vehicle stalls) as well as plenty of bike parking, and an outdoor sport court and YYC’s newest most instagrammable rooftop.
