News from WORK:

We're hoping, very much, to be able to go back to WORK this summer - in some capacity at least. I've developed some preliminary plans for ways to adjust the main coworking spaces into a safer work environment with added barriers and six-foot radiuses, but let's be honest: communal office environments are not the best idea in a pandemic. If you're sitting inside for six hours, a six-foot radius is probably not enough. An enlightening post by Professor Erin Bromage made this clear.

Fortunately, we have a few other options up our sleeves:

We have open-air opportunities: There is the courtyard, which we can develop into an outdoor office oasis, with fresh air and room to spread out. Six-foot-diameter round tables could accommodate in-person meetings. Someone even suggested we take over the back parking lot as more outdoor seating, if necessary.
We have our Uptown Private Offices: These provide your own four walls and a door, PLUS individual, ductless heating and cooling units so that you can adjust your own temperature AND not worry about your neighbor's air coming through the vents. Crack your window open, and you'll even get a nice fresh breeze from outside.

As we begin to move forward, also remember:

All of our memberships are month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time, so no need to know what the future may hold during this uncertain time.
Working from home has many challenges. We're here to give you a great work life so you can enjoy a great home life.

Be sure to add one of our weekly virtual gatherings to your calendar so we can continue to enjoy the lively interactions of the WORK community.

Thinking of you all,

Natasha and Team WORK
