electricity is available for a fee on the entire main floor for table rentals and along the walls for booth rentals.
WI-FI: is accessible and free. Wi-Fi is is spotty and gets clogged when there are many people using it. Be prepared, i.e., use your cell phone carrier as backup if you do not want to lose a potential sale. Robarts has improved wifi and has added a number of channels for people to use. However, I am "worst case scenario girl" and encourage all to be pragmatic with the "what if's" so you can have a smooth working experience.
DRESSING ROOMS: There are no dressing rooms but if you are selling clothing, there are two very large indoor public bathrooms available for shoppers to try on garments with mirrors.
