Welcome to the Cortex Commons; We are Glad You are Here 

Cortex Commons is owned and operated by the Cortex Innovation District. While you are here, please note the values and expectations for use of common spaces throughout the District: 

Use Our Spaces as Intended: 

Sleeping, loitering, drug use, temporary structures, and public intoxication are not permitted. 

Please respect the space and leave it as you found it – or better. 

Cortex Commons is private property; disruption of private events will not be tolerated. 

More information about reserving space can be found at cortexstl.org. 

Be Considerate of Others: 

All people – their ideas, values and skills – are welcome in Cortex. 

Respecting people means respecting their time, input, and physical space. 

Communicate with Respect: 

Obscene, harassing gestures or actions, abusive language, or hate speech are unacceptable. 

Act Responsibly: 

Violating any federal, state, or local laws, regulations or ordinances, including any applicable public health mandates, is prohibited. 

Weapons of any kind, including firearms, are not permitted in Cortex. 

Anyone not behaving in line with our values and expectations for use of the Commons will be asked to change their behavior. Anyone not changing their behavior may be asked to leave with possible assistance from law enforcement.

General operating hours are from sunset to sunrise.

WiFi service and electrical outlets are coordinated with these hours.
