Though the room’s high ceiling and customizable square design could potentially accommodate an endless range of purposes, the multipurpose room located inside a downtown Providence condo building is only ever used for, like, two purposes at best. “It’s such a bummer to think about how many purposes that room could be used for,” said disappointed building resident Josh Plantman. “Sometimes I’ll walk past there and the tables will be set up in a ‘U’ for a board meeting, and other times there’ll be some circular tables set up for a dinner or something. That’s it. Now that I think about it, both those purposes could just be considered events, which is really just one purpose. What a missed opportunity.” At press time, the condo board meeting no longer meets in the multipurpose room.
