Norwood Space Center is a hive of creative commerce where arts, business and technology collaborate. This dynamic 300,000 square foot historic mill building campus is conveniently located between Boston, MA and Providence, RI.

Bird & Sons constructed the Norwood Space Center in 1904 as an “innovation center” to create and produce linoleum. That same spirit of innovation and creativity lives on at the newly remodeled Norwood Space Center with craft brewing, baking innovation, stone fabrication, pop culture archives, artisans and more.

An interior “Main Street” corridor connects the buildings allowing all members to walk freely between buildings and share workspace, bathrooms and loading.

Building 1 – sits across from the main buildings and is fully occupied by Planet Self Storage with over 350 storage units decorated with pop culture memorabilia and streaming music videos provided by David Bieber Archives and Motherlode.tv.

Building 2 –is an industrial, chic event space with 15,000 sq. feet of column free design, high ceilings, a cement floor and lots of windows. It is a clean pallette ready to be transformed to the needs of our clients and event planners. The space is ideal for performances, pop-up markets, conferences, fundraisers, weddings, business meetings and private parties.

Building 4 – was redeveloped and leased early 2017 with Percival Brewing Company : a small craft beer brewery, Puratos USA : a baking innovation center, Bay State Energy Reduction and Little Bird Events : a small private event facility for gatherings of up to 100 people.

At this time, Building 6 is fully leased.

These creative spaces have both open ceiling and private space concept. We plan to open this building and welcome new members Fall of 2018.
