Re: [Coworking] Headphone rules

Those are great rules, and nice artwork, but I sure wish earbuds were easier to spot from behind. Too many times I've inadvertantly interrupted someone because it was impossible to detect their earbuds at first, and in the case of phone conversations, they weren't talking at the time. :( Randy

[Coworking] Re: Size does matter!

Thanks all! This is very encouraging. There are already "sections", but I was concerned they would work against the community building aspect. They're not closed sections, though. It just FELT weird. :-) The plus, I guess, is that it has two shower rooms (and two bathtubs...haha). Toni On Mar 30,

Re: [Coworking] Size does matter!

We barely fit your requirement, Uncubed is about 6k sq/ft. We've added glass roll up garage doors so that the space can be separated as needed when the event space is in use. Coworking takes up about 50% of the overall space, and can expand if needed. Even before the garage doors, we kept the

Re: [Coworking] Size does matter!

OC, A large area need not necessarily preclude coziness. In fact my design for a coworking "flagship" building creates a lot of space, and is two storeys tall with a huge open lobby. Yet I still plan for intimate spaces. The way to attain a cozy atmosphere in such environs is easily accomplishe

Re: [Coworking] Best practices for signing up new members

As with most things we try and do everything through human to human interaction. That said, we've build into Nadine a few gentle reminders to help us make sure everything gets done. We have a list of TO DO items that get triggered with a new membership and some EXIT TASKS that get triggered when

Re: [Coworking] Size does matter!

We did it thru architecture (desk and office layout, materials, lighting, etc.). Like starting with a big block of clay, you trim it, sculpt it, and generally break it down to smaller components that work together. Well, actually, maybe it's not everyone's version of cozy, but it works for us!

[Coworking] Size does matter!

We went to look at a space today that's just over 13K square feet. The 11K square foot building is in negotiations. Anyway, I just couldn't get the feel of community as I walked through. Who has a space larger than 5,000 square feet and how do you make it feel cozy? -- You received this message b

Re: [Coworking] Best practices for signing up new members

We (Workantile) use a process we shamelessly stole from IndyHall. Potential members visit the space, take a tour where we explain what we are (a community) and what are not (desk rental), and then have them do a week trial. At the end of the week, assuming that they decide that Workantile is for th

[Coworking] Best practices for signing up new members

Hey hey everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely Friday! I'm curious what processes people have developed for funneling new members from their first interaction to signup. To date, I've taken a largely hands-off approach that looks something like this: 1. Encourage people to visit the space be
