Colombo Institute is located in a fairly large extent of land with much greenery. The garden space is used by the Institute for both its internal meetings and more formal public discussions. The spacious public area within the Institute is used for film shows and discussions as well. Both areas are available for partner organizations to hold events that are relevant to the interests of the Institute. The premises can be used at a nominal fee.
