I'm working with a couple of other folks in the early stage of setting up a coworking space in Portsmouth, NH USA. There's three of us to start out as primary owners, and we're likely to be on-site most, but not all, weekdays 8 Am - 6 PM. We've heard from others that they'd be interested in evening and weekend access, earlier mornings or late evenings. We've got some concerns about security issues, especially outside of normal business hours.
While we certainly trust our primary mainstream residents, there's always going to be new people or people less familiar to us. We do expect the primary members to be renting deskspace and likely having computers, monitors or other valuable equipment locked down at their desks. The facilities do allow us 24-hour access to the site, currently by key lock. We're considering combination locks or keycards, or perhaps tiered access, where new or part-time members can only access the facilities through a second entrance only available during regular business hours. How have others dealt with people who want to use the place at odd hours? I'd be interested to hear how others deal with related security issues, whether policies, locking devices or security monitoring. -- Ted Roche --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
