Dynamic Programming Fosters Structured Serendipity

Tenant events inspire community and collaboration among tenants through informal interactions. Whether it is sharing a meal or participating in various holiday celebrations check how examples of our events below:

Midweek Mobile Eats

A tenant favorite is our summer series called “Midweek Mobile Eats” where we invite a different local food truck to join us on our patio throughout the summer. A great way to enjoy lunch outdoors and share in engaging conversation with colleagues.

In the winter we take advantage of our large conference center to celebrate the holidays with live music, catered food, and fun for all ages. Other holiday events include decor and contests for Halloween costumes along with various celebrations throughout the year.

Community Colabs

One and Two Discovery Square is well established with community organizations in the downtown area. In the past we have partnered with Rochester Community Bike Club for free bike tune ups and Paws and Claws a local animal shelter.

Seasonal Gatherings

We have various larger gathering often in the summer to take advantage of the weather. In August we have our Annual Summer BBQ and various happy hours throughout the summer.
