Steelcase, the parent company of Turnstone, is opening up a coworking space for corporations called WorkSpring <http://www.worksping.com> in a large high-rise in Chicago next month. They are taking over a floor and making it a beautiful and high quality coworking space for outsiders and people in the building, whom get a discount. Now I'm often very weary when corporations open up a coworking space because it might lack the culture that makes a lot of us - well us -- but Steelcase is different. They studying culture and space design with a huge R&D budget and write amazing papers about it.
WorkSpring <http://www.workspring.com> is taking what coworking is doing and bringing it into the corporate world where the needs are slightly different because they already have a team and group of people that break the isolation. They are more into provide a flexible workspace, but also designing the space for casual interactions between people from different corporations. I'm really interested to see if they host casual and education events that a lot of us put on for our freelancer and mobile workers that want some more social interactions. If they do it right then I think they will. I'm excited to see where this goes and I'm already reaching out to many of the people there to dig deeper into their vision.
