The Compass Center is nestled at the rear of Park Village facing into woods. This provides a
quiet but very accessible setting for your place of work. There is ample parking for you and
visitors to the Center. The building is on two floors and covers 52,000 square feet. It was
formerly an infirmary and residential school that closed in 1993. As a Music and Arts Center the
building is being developed in phases. See the vision for the completed site in the Building Plan
below. We are delighted to be announcing that we are now leasing units within Phases 1 and 2

This area of the building is a prime location for those wishing to exhibit or retail wares and

therefore the units are ideal for art galleries and retailers of arts related goods and crafts and
group shops. The Street already has the CMAC book and gift shop open for business and will
soon host the Brandon Training School Exhibit. The wall space stretching the full length of The
Street is ideal for showing art and the large main hall ideal for art shows, fairs, dance
instruction, and also performances. All units are newly refurbished, light and welcoming. Many

available daily to support the sale of the art.
