In addition, social enterprises, non-profits and charities will now have three dedicated event spaces, up from one.
The smallest of the lot – Living Room – in the original shophouse unit, holds 80 to 100 people, allowing for more intimate events.
The two new event spaces, Tembusu Canopy and Banyan Cove, will accommodate 160 to 200 and 180 to 220 people, respectively.
While changemakers can make an impact from anywhere in society, bringing them together under one roof enables collaboration and “cross-pollination of ideas”, which are “essential to addressing complex challenges”, general manager Yvonne Tay told CNA Lifestyle.
“We aim to enable the sharing of ideas and expertise, sparking serendipitous conversations and together, achieve more holistic solutions,” she said.
“We encourage our partners to move beyond isolated efforts and approach issues collectively, drawing on diverse strengths to achieve greater impact.”
