We used to do that often, and never had anything go missing, not even a cable. We were always staffed during events, or a member was hosting via a bunch of event hosting rules. We didn't lock down equipment - physical locks can easily be worked around; we have Community Guidelines which I think are more effective, if they're enforced/people are held accountable.
Some members with reserved desks lock equipment; most don't. We do have lockers for members as an option, and most people don't put locks on them. Years ago a member with a reserved desk suggested requiring at least a week's notice minimum to members: via email, and writing it clearly visible where members see signage in the space. That helped community vibes/communication/expectations. Since moving from our first location we have many fewer events in the main spaces but I think it worked better for us to have more events. -Alex Linsker, Collective Agency, Portland Oregon https://collectiveagency.co/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
