Details on finding The Ottawa Tool Library:
Finding Bay 216 may be part of your walking adventure. We are located on the second level of 250 City Centre, right above Art-Is-In Bakery.  Most people should park on the ground level and come up the stairs on the south end of the building.  With a ticket, you may park in the ground lot free for about one hour (you'll need to enter your licence plate number in the parking machine).  The free time interval varies seasonally, so check on the machine for the applicable time interval.  Alternatively, arrive by bicycle, walk from downtown, Preston St., or Hintonburg, or come by transit (Bayview Station is across the street).  Please see the map in the photo gallery. 

Makerspace North is an accessible space. If you have vehicle transportation, have them drop you off on the upper level of City Centre.  If you require close access parking, there are a limited number of spaces available on the second level of City Centre. Take the ramp on the south side of the building up to the second level, and look for Bay 216 “Makerspace North.”   

There is a map showing the location of Bay 216 in the Photo Gallery below, and you can find a video on our website showing how to get here.
