Hi, Nancy, What knd of class is it? I asssume you are interested in the use of coworking in a creative career, since it's SCAD. (Hometown advantage, I come from Atlanta most recently, born at Fort McPherson).
I now live in the Netherlands and am busy launching my coworking space here. Every coworking space is different; my own is actualy a part of my house. I live in a 400 year old (and counting!) farm house and the former stable has been converted to office space. One office is a regular tenant and the other is nwo being made over into a coworking space -- a kind of bed and breakfast for business. I am developing a relationship with a creative arts school nearby and expect to offer podcasting, video conferencing, filmmaking and editing services to my members. Because my space is so small, it is very easy to convert the conference room into a studio space -- we can just pull the furniture out and bring the equipment in. My background in theater comes in handy in dealing with lighting and setting. :-) We have datatports and power everywhere you can imagine and a couple places I couldn't have made up. (In the kitchen? Seriously?) People in media and in visual arts find coworking really useful as it helps to keep the business side and the creative side flowing smoothly if you can do both in one place, in a physical space that supports the right function. You can do your billing in the editing suite but it's not that efficient. :-) I have a friend in New York who is trying to talk me into having a once a week jam session for musicians, where we would have sound and recording equipment available, and I am thinking about it. Haven't resolved that one yet. Do you want to hear from members who use the spaces or from people who have the spaces?
