At the heart of Weston Common is Artscape Hub, a re-imagined community gathering place featuring over 20,000 sqf of indoor and outdoor programming space dedicated for arts and cultural events.

Earlier this year we welcomed cognitive neuroscientist Vedran Dzebic to the Entro team. Vedran is currently defending his PhD dissertation at the University of Waterloo, and uses innovative techniques and approaches to highlight how the physical design of space influences how we feel, behave and think. Recently he wrote the Entrospective 'Meander' as a response to the the increasing and varied ways we rely on technology, and how they affect our relationship with the world around us.
