We have several parking options. We host events at Groover Labs year round. During any given week, we may have hundreds of guests in the building. Maybe they’re attending a training session in our 275-person event venue, or they’re participating in a class in one of our 24-person capacity classrooms, or they’re meeting a client in one of our conference rooms.
