LOCKPORT, N.Y., Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Space Between (theSpaceBetween.center), a dynamic training and problem-solving workspace, opened today in a historic three-building complex on the Erie Canal in Lockport, N.Y. Designed to help companies improve their processes and teamwork, The Space Between offers a wide range of guided services, as well as the ability to rent space for offsite meetings or training sessions. The Space Between is an affiliate of J. Fitzgerald Group (JFG), a full-service integrated marketing communications and advertising agency serving local, national, and international clients.
"We've operated an advertising agency at the same site for 16 years and the one thing we've always heard from clients is that they needed help solving internal company issues to improve their teams and marketing efforts," said Jack Martin, President of JFG and Partner in The Space Between. "We've conducted focus groups, brainstorming sessions and company meetings around the world via the agency, but now we're giving companies everywhere a chance to bring their teams to our space for intensive workshops so they can better attack and solve issues."
Some of the services offered at The Space Between include:
- Guided Brainstorming Sessions
- Creative Problem Solving
- Business and Product Naming Sessions
- Team Building
- Strategic Planning Assistance
- Focus Groups
- Marketing Strategy Development
- Meeting Space Rental
The Space Between has teamed up with creative problem-solving professionals, business and life coaches, team building experts and more to help guide the sessions. In addition, JFG boasts professionals with experience leading marketing planning sessions, search engine optimization (SEO), public relations, brainstorming, focus group facilitation and more.
The only facility of its kind in Western New York, The Space Between has two large meeting rooms that can accommodate a total of 70 people. The rooms can be rented individually or together for half- or full-day sessions. Companies can also rent two board rooms and another meeting space for smaller groups. There are also three add-on spaces – including a game room, an in-house pub and a deck and patio overlooking the 200-year-old Erie Canal. In addition to the learning sessions, the center will offer complete after-hours packages – so teams can visit Niagara Falls, take boat tours, wine tours, complete zip line and ropes courses, and much more.
"We know that the secret to a great work session is to also build in some down time and fun – and we want to encourage companies to explore the beauty of Western New York and Niagara County," Martin explained. "Everyone has heard of Niagara Falls, but there's so much more to explore throughout the region. When a company books a session and an add-on retreat package, they will come away with a fresh perspective that will help them grow as a team and have great tools to improve productivity and problem solving."
The Space Between is located at 12-16 West Main Street in Lockport, N.Y. It's less than 20 miles from the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and Niagara Falls, N.Y., less than 60 miles from Rochester, N.Y., and roughly 100 miles from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
