It's the distinction that makes it easier to describe what coworking is. When I try and explain it to folks I highlight that a business center and a coworking space might have all the same nouns and verbs but where a business center focuses on the stuff, the services it provides, a coworking space is about the coworkers, the people in the space. It comes out in every decision made and you can feel it when you walk through the door.
