[Coworking] Music in your coworking space?

2015-10-21 Thread Kaylyn Gelata 
Hi all ! 

I am getting mixed member opinions about music in the coworking space. Some 
members LOVE it, and some find it "unprofessional" to have music on in the 
background and use headphone to block it out. 
Personally, I find it way too quiet without some music on in the 
background, making it feel like a library... which we are not.

Do you have music in your coworking space? 

Has anyone else had this difference in opinions? If so, what did you do to 
try to resolve it? 

I know you can't please everyone.. I want to do what's best for the 
majority! Thoughts?

Ahoy Kaylyn,

we are solving this problem with two different areas. One is “working” where 
silent area is required (it means also that people should not have phone calls 
in) and second one is “chill” one, where we have music. Still sometimes people 
shout it down but we are anyway putting it on all the time because it really 
gives space more relaxed and comfortable touch.

In the case you have just one space I would suggest that you to have silence 
and maybe turn on music just at the mornings and evening. You know, people who 
would like to listen music they can always put headphones on … but people who 
would like to have silence they can not make it with headphones. So with having 
silence you are more on the safe side;)

We have KEXP playing all day long.  We keep it at a reasonable volume and
it's an important element to keeping the buzz going.  This isn't a library
so dead quiet isn't a good thing.  We've opened the discussion up at times
but at some point you just need to make a decision and stick with it.
Everyone has their opinions and you can spend a lot of time going round and
round.

Re: [Coworking] Music in your coworking space?

Hi all.

We use two Sonos speakers to play Rockradio.com in one part of coworking area 
and coffeepoint, so those are not dead quiet. If members do not want to hear 
the music, they can just choose seats in quiet area. 
Honestly, we had no complaints from members.
