Programs & Events

Dynamic Programming Fosters Structured Serendipity

Programming and connection are central to One and Two Discovery Square, even amid the pandemic when most tenants worked from home. The programming helped maintain a sense of community and connectedness during a time of isolation and strengthened associations among tenants.
