The Foundation Center's Training Annex
The Foundation Center's state-of-the-art
Training Annex, conveniently located in the heart of New York
City's Flatiron district, is a multi-functional facility,
ideal for foundations, other nonprofit organizations, or any
group looking for space in which to host meetings, conferences,
seminars, and computer-based training programs.
Adjacent to the Center's headquarters library,
the Training Annex includes meeting rooms, a computer lab,
a reception area, and a catering pantry. A full range of technical
support services are available, and the facility is wheelchair
accessible and fully compliant with all other Americans with
Disabilities Act specifications.
Meeting Rooms
The meeting space may be used as one
large room that can accommodate up to 70 people; it also offers
the flexibility of being divided into two smaller meeting rooms
with a capacity of up to 20 or 30 people respectively. Seating
can be configured in several ways, including theater, classroom,
and Board room style arrangements. Each room is equipped with
a projector, screen, instructor's computer, microphone, TV/VCR,
podium, and telephone.
Computer Lab
The computer lab seats up to 24 trainees and one instructor
and is fully equipped to handle a wide range of technologically
sophisticated presentations and training programs. Each of the
high-speed Dell Pentium computers is equipped
with T1 circuit Internet access and integrated sound and video
cards. Each terminal is complemented by a 15-inch flat-screen
monitor, providing versatility and convenience to the individual
user. Like the large meeting room, the computer lab is equipped
with a ceiling-mounted projector for easy display of program
materials on a motorized screen and the same comprehensive package
of audio/visual equipment and accessories.
Registration/Reception Area
Rental of the meeting rooms or computer lab includes access
to an adjacent registration/reception area. Light and spacious,
it offers a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere for receiving
program participants and offering refreshment breaks. Registration
and refreshment tables and cafe-style seating are available,
as are coat closets and additional coat racks for larger groups.
The Training Annex pantry includes a full-sized refrigerator,
microwave, dishwasher, sink, and generous counter space. Catering
may be arranged with an outside contractor, or the Foundation
Center may be retained to provide full coffee and tea service
for up to 70 people.
