Hi Isaac, re table set up: At Citizen Space, we call it the "Communal Table" or the "Drop-In" Table and it's been wildly popular. Maybe because for Drop-Ins it's free/donation, but as a resident/former manager of the space, I noticed folks like sitting around a large table. It fosters discussion and a sense of work solidarity. Our main set up is individual desks for full-time members (the entire space is open plan), but having that group table is truly an anchor, and for a beginning coworking space in your situation, building community is crucial.
And I'm going to borrow a line from Alex Hillman regarding your hours: ask your members! Maybe the person who favors an 8am open time can be the one to spearhead that initiative. :) You can always change them once you get rolling. At Citizen Space, full-time residents have 24/7 access, Drop-Ins and daily visitors are advised to aim for 10-6. Hope that helps, Jesse Taggert (former manager Citizen Space and coworking enthusiast) http://www.taggert.net @jtag http://citizenspace.us @citizenspace On Jul 26, 9:41 am, Cotec <[email protected]> wrote: > I just started a coworking space in seattle and had a question on the > best hours.
