Rent Our Space

Home » Rent Our Space

The LAVA Center is located in the heart of downtown Greenfield, MA. In addition to street parking, there are several public lots and a garage within just a few blocks.

Our 1,500-square-foot common space is on the ground floor. No windows means you have complete control over the lighting.

Perfect for:

  • small performances
  • rehearsals
  • workshops and small classes
  • recording sessions—audio or video
  • photography sessions
  • board meetings

Amenities:

  • 35 high-quality metal folding chairs
  • 45 high-quality padded metal chairs
  • six-foot folding tables + a few smaller tables
  • screens to divide up the space as needed
  • kitchenette with a small fridge, microwave, and toaster oven
  • self-serve cafe with coffee and tea
  • children’s area with small chairs and games
  • accessible, unisex bathroom on the ground floor + additional bathrooms on the second floor
  • high speed WiFi
  • stage lighting and AV system
  • heavy-duty HEPA air purifier and monitor

We have a strict capacity limit of 49 people.

Our rental fee is on a sliding scale of $35–90/hour (new rates for 2026 due to an increase in our costs; you choose what to pay in that range), with a 2-hour minimum. Additional fees may apply for setup and tech needs.

Contact us about rentals.

Want to talk about possibly collaborating with LAVA on an event, rather than a rental? Contact us tell us about you and your proposed event. Include some details such as when you would like to have the event, what your ideas are for bringing people to the event, and the resources you might need from us to make it happen.
