Thanks so much for this Angel! The trailer looks awesome! Seems to be a limited release, not surprising; art-film houses and museums in (some) communities. It made me think! If people made contact with them---suggestion! in your (bigger) co-working spaces, maybe this could be shown IN the space

I think there's balance to be found between the constraints of the space and what your customers are asking for. We have a few fixed seating options but they are located in the main room alongside the flex positions. We have very little turnover in the fixed seats so they do provide nice

I'm probably not the best person to reply to this because we hardly have any security. No cameras, no alarm system. We have a keyed door on the front--owing to the 1880's doors, we're bound to that system. On the back we installed a Schlage commercial keypad system. I can program and assign codes

We never totally took security as serious as how our members might feel within the space. To make the environment safe, we took several different precautions at spaces we managed. Access Thumb Access works very well. And a good money maker if coworker adds a new employee to the space.
