WHAT ARE YOUR RATES & AVAILABILITY?
Our meeting rooms, studio, and Library are available to rent by the room on Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 5:30pm. Book by the hour, half-day or full-day, book one room or book them all, with incentives for multi-day and multi-room bookings. Additional fees may apply for staffing and cleaning for after-hours/weekend events, and for events with more than 20+ guests.

SOUNDS GREAT, HOW DO I BOOK?
Once you’re ready to book, we’ll send over a short rental agreement for your review and signature, along with a Welcome Guide that includes all the details you’ll need to prepare for a happy and successful meeting or event. Have questions as you’re planning? We’re here for you.
Please note we require you to make a site visit (in person or virtually!) before you book for an event rental.
DO YOU PROVIDE PARKING?
There is a paid parking lot in between our building and the Auburn Avenue Research Library. There's also metered parking along Auburn Avenue in front of the building with a 4-hour maximum time limit; we recommend getting the Park Mobile App so you can easily pay and extend times if need be. The MARTA stops closest to us are Georgia State (0.3 miles) and Peachtree Center.
HOW WILL I ACCESS THE BUILDING?
Our front door remains locked 24/7, but we will buzz you in and meet you in the Welcome Lobby upstairs. We will happily buzz in your meeting attendees throughout the day. For larger events, we encourage you to have a member of your team stationed downstairs at the front door to greet attendees and direct them to the proper meeting or event space.
DO YOU PROVIDE COFFEE?
You and your guests are welcome to enjoy our unlimited drop coffee for an additional fee.
DO YOU ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD AND BEVERAGES?
Yes, we do allow outside food & beverage, including catering or restaurant delivery. We are happy to provide you with our list of favorites upon booking. Planning a happy hour or social gathering and want to bring in beer & wine? That’s OK, as long as you are not hosting a cash bar and provide the required insurance.
WILL YOU PROVIDE WI-FI ACCESS?
Our Wi-Fi is fiber-fast, and free to our tenants and guests. Network & password will be provided in your Welcome Guide.
CAN I MIRROR MY DEVICE ONTO YOUR FLATSCREEN MONITORS?
Yes, and we’re happy to walk you through the set-up. We’ll check in with you so we know what your A/V needs are advance so there are no surprises the day-of.
DO YOU HAVE A PODCAST STUDIO?
YES, we have a podcast studio! Honoring Civil Rights icon Congressman John Lewis and the community he has proudly served since 1987, 5th District Studio is a wonderful spot for you to create. This warm, inviting, and professional environment is perfect for creating original content, capturing oral histories, recording voice overs, audio books, comedy routines, interviews, meetings and any other audio adventure you can dream up. Also, any audio that is recorded can be transcribed and used for meeting notes, whitepapers, research, books, and much more.
