The Co/Lab Coworking

01/27/2022

I just wanted to provide a quick update on The CO/LAB.

First of all, thanks for your interest. There are a few folks in Athabasca who have shown interest in coworking!

I set up the info sessions thinking I was going to be able to announce the location and start taking pre-sales. Unfortunately, when presented with the lease of my preferred location last Friday, the pricing that I had been quoted in the summer had been increased and there was no negotiating it. Because I want to keep the pricing reasonable for Members and there isn't a lot of wiggle room in the budget, we weren't able to come to an agreement.

The choice of locations is limited, especially leasing options. But there are a couple of avenues to explore yet. So stay tuned.

As things progress, I'll post updates here.

I believe that there is a need for coworking in Athabasca, and I hope to make that happen in the near future.

If you have any comments, suggestions or would just like more info on The CO/LAB, please feel free to email [email protected] or DM here.

Cheers,

Lisa

"Connections with others are a big reason why people pay to work in a communal space, as opposed to working from home for free or renting a nondescript office. Each coworking space has its own vibe, and the managers of each space go to great lengths to cultivate a unique experience that meets the needs of their respective members." https://hbr.org/2015/05/why-people-thrive-in-coworking-spaces
