Meeting Space for Up to 16 People in Oakville: Inside HOME RUN
Sixteen people is where meeting-room planning gets interesting.
The group is large enough that a standard boardroom can start to feel crowded, but still small enough that you want everyone participating in the same conversation.
Touchdown’s HOME RUN configuration combines two meeting rooms to create space for up to 16 people. It currently rents for C$45 per hour for non-members and C$35 per hour for members, with a two-hour minimum.
Planning a meeting for 10 to 16 people?
What works well in a 16-person meeting space?
HOME RUN is particularly useful for:
Team strategy sessions
Small training groups
Department meetings
Sales planning
Project workshops
Leadership retreats
Client presentations
Collaborative working sessions
Hybrid team gatherings
Quarterly business reviews
It gives a mid-size group more flexibility than squeezing into a traditional small boardroom.
Why combining rooms can be useful
A flexible room system solves a problem fixed conference rooms cannot.
Your business does not always have the same number of people in every meeting.
One week, six people need a room.
The following week, 15 people need a planning day.
Instead of paying year-round for a permanent boardroom sized for your largest occasional meeting, you can book the configuration that matches the event.
That is one of the strongest arguments for meeting-room rental in a hybrid-work world.
Is HOME RUN better for training or meetings?
Both, depending on the setup.
For a traditional meeting, 16 participants can work through an agenda, presentation or planning discussion together.
For training, the additional space becomes valuable because participants may need laptops, printed materials, exercises or room to move.
If your session includes extensive breakout work, consider whether ROYAL FLUSH or TOUCHDOWN would provide even more flexibility.
What is included?
Touchdown includes:
1 GB fibre internet
Video-conferencing equipment
Digital whiteboards
HDMI connectivity
Large 4K screens across the meeting-room area
Premium coffee and other hot beverages
Water
Lounge and cafeteria access for breaks
Free parking
Up to 50 black-and-white printed pages
For a two- or three-hour session, those details keep the event simple.
For a full-day session, they become operationally important.
You organize the agenda. Let the venue take care of the basics.
Is 16 people too many for a productive meeting?
Not necessarily, but the meeting needs structure.
At 16 participants, open-ended conversation can become slow if everyone is expected to speak on every topic.
A few simple practices help:
Send information that does not require discussion before the meeting.
Use the room for decisions, debate and collaborative work.
Give each agenda item an owner.
Use whiteboards or shared screens to keep the group oriented.
Build breaks into sessions longer than two hours.
Atlassian’s 2025 State of Teams report makes a similar distinction: information-sharing often works better asynchronously, while meetings should be protected for work that genuinely benefits from people being together.
That is a useful filter before booking any room.
When should you book HOME RUN?
Choose HOME RUN when your headcount is too large for GOAL or when a smaller group needs extra room for a working session.
The two-hour minimum also makes it naturally suited to substantive meetings rather than quick one-on-ones.
For 17 to 22 people, compare ROYAL FLUSH. For groups approaching 30, look at TOUCHDOWN.
