Quiet Room
In today’s fast-paced work environment, finding a moment of peace can be a challenge. We are excited to introduce you to our Quiet Room, a dedicated space for all employees to decompress, focus, or simply recharge.
Located on the Mezzanine floor of City Hall, the Quiet Room is designed to be a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of daily office life. Whether you need a place to meditate, collect your thoughts, or just enjoy a peaceful break, this space is for you.
For a mindful escape, the Quiet Room provides a dedicated space for yoga, complete with mats and soothing sounds. Guests can also find serenity in our reading and meditation room or relax in the puzzle room, perfect for a short break. In 2026, we will enhance this experience with a new massage room featuring two massage chairs.
