The Reading Room – An Open Workspace For Geoscientists

The Reading Room is conveniently located in the downtown core of Vancouver at 470 Granville Street, close to the local transport stations, offices and convention centers.
The Reading Room serves two purposes: a Meeting Space and a Study Hub that is open for geoscience professionals and their colleagues.
We provide an eclectic space that is a little different from your usual meeting room, complete with a range of facilities for your meeting needs. The space also comes complete with a variety of research tools that might be usually inaccessible to the consultant or graduate geoscientist, including microscopes, drafting tables, large scale printers and more.
