Empowering Spaces for Lifelong Learning at Ādisōke
Located on the fourth floor of the newly established Ādisōke, two dynamic spaces—the Computer Lab and the Co-working Centre—offer invaluable resources designed to enhance life skills and foster community connections. Both Ottawa Public Library (OPL) spaces focus on enhancing life skills, providing programs and services aimed at helping individuals learn new competencies, and navigate various challenges in their lives.
The Computer Lab
Step into the Computer Lab, a lively zone dedicated to improving digital literacy and fostering community learning and connection. As soon as you exit the elevator, you’ll find a well-equipped classroom setting that can accommodate around 18 participants. This space features modern desks, chairs, and multiple computers, all designed to facilitate hands-on learning experiences.
Programs here are developed and delivered by OPL staff or partner organizations, focusing on essential life skills such as managing finances, applying for jobs, and using digital tools to stay connected. Micro skill workshops offer practical, bite-sized learning experiences—whether you want to learn how to tie a tie, grow a succulent, or navigate digital couponing. This space not only supports skill development but also emphasizes lifelong learning, effective communication, and mental well-being, creating a supportive environment where individuals can thrive.
The Collaboration Space
Adjacent to the Computer Lab is the OPL’s Collaboration Space, specifically designed for entrepreneurs, students, and workers seeking a flexible and collaborative environment. This open area features a mix of comfortable lounge furniture and traditional workstations, allowing you to choose the setting that best suits your work style. Whether you’re focused on individual tasks, holding virtual meetings, or collaborating with peers, the Collaboration Space provides the tools and resources you need to succeed.
