One of the most unique venues in Edmonton, the Action Lab is a space that you can rent for private events, workshops, meetings, and strategic planning. The Action Lab experience promotes creativity, offers systems and design thinking tools to help tap into collective wisdom and makes it easier to get inspired and collaborate.
Whether you are a member of an equity seeking group, a CEO or VP of a large company, grass roots community organizer, or government leader, we strive to create a space where everyone can feel welcome in the lab.
All renters are required to complete the Action Lab Rental Agreement which includes agreeing to a code of conduct that values the spirit of Treaty, inclusivity, creativity, and collaboration.

Access
The building hours are 8am to 5pm, any groups renting the space after these hours will need a greeter at the front lobby entrance to let people in after 5pm. If you’re not able to have a greeter, we can look into providing one for you.
We can also provide a poster for the front door with the phone number of your choosing and a contact person for anybody who arrives late. On the poster we would provide the name of the event, where in the building it is and the phone number. We would not put anybody’s name on the poster.
