So we have our new site up and running, please visit the workthefactory.com for all your grand rapids coworking needs.
Just a quick heads up, we’re launching our offical site within the next day or so. This means if you have subscribed to this blog via RSS the url is going to change and will no longer be hosted on Tumblr (sorry fellow tumblr users).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We’ve been pushing pretty hard with the new coworking spot. We have a lease in hand that just needs to be signed, some awesome furniture that’s about to be ordered and a planed opening day target of November 2nd.
We’re going to start out in 1,800sq/ft of space that should seat 25 people rather comfortably in a mix of regular desk seating, high top tables and sofas, chairs and other “soft” seating.
I’m really amazed at how quickly things have started to come together, now it’s just getting everything in and organized and getting the word out.
We have some images of the floor plan and some photos that we we’ll post up in the coming days….things are starting to get super exciting.
