TORONTO, Feb. 1, 2017 /CNW/ - The Globe and Mail, Canada's foremost news media company, is launching a state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility designed for leadership, innovation and debate. Crowning The Globe's new corporate headquarters in Toronto's King East Design District, The Globe and Mail Centre will become a platform for Globe programming.

The elegant facility offers a striking and sophisticated new option for brands, organizations and individuals seeking flexible event and meeting space.
