Thank you for supporting this National Historic Landmark. This past year we have seen quite a transformation of historic space into a third space. Don’t know what that means? That’s ok, I didn’t either until we embarked on this project! A third space is a public gathering space, and Indy is a little short on them. So, as we transformed the lobby into Mass Ave’s living room, it was an invitation for the community to gather. • YMCA members meeting after a workout • YAT parents relaxing while kids are in class • Business meetings and interviews • Students studying and collaborating • Individuals working with their mobile office • Neighbors finding a quiet nook to read a book The space is truly serving all! We have been blown away by the magic of the combination of amazing coffee and unique space in addition to how well it has been received by the community. Did I mention the national attention? In the last year we were mentioned in The New York Times, Forbes, and Architectural Digest; that’s PR that we could never have been able to afford if not for the unique reuse of this historic treasure for Indianapolis.
