The Intro

Posted by Dylan Bathurst on September 30, 2011

Hey everyone, 

I know there has been a lot of talk about coworking in this community lately. After last nights Jelly with Alex Hillman, I think it's safe to say we're all ready and excited for it. There has been some talk and some action with groups like Citizen Space and others intending to be Vegas coworking. Those are all great, but to me, feel a little contrived. I want to work with #vegastech to build a coworking space from the ground up!

I've probably talked to a lot of you about the coworking space Zach Ware and myself been working on for a while now. Most of the work so far has been about finding an awesome place downtown that will suit the communities needs. We think we've found that place! Of course nothing is set in stone yet, but hopefully in the near future. That shouldn't stop us from figuring out what we want out of this space though. 

I'd like to start having conversations about stuff like the name of the place, what we want it to look like, membership models, events, etc. 

When I can get ahold of the floor plans I'll post them, as well as pictures, and videos. I'd even like to start being able to take people through the space to get a feel for it!

So let's do this everyone. Together we're going to make an awesome place for #vegastech to flourish!

This is awesome Dylan! I've got a whole treasure chest full of images of spaces/studios and design that I've liked if I can post that as a bit of a mood board to help get a feel of the place if that sounds good.

Hey Mark, want to just sprout off a "Design" topic from this thread and start posting some stuff?

Side note: Sprouts have really scratched my conversation taxonomy itch. :)

Awesome! I'm down to help and I desperately need a space for meetings. I've never really found the right space for regular meetings. I've really enjoyed working at @Coloft and great coffee is a must for coworking. I suggest we hook up with Colorado River Coffee Roasters.

How can I help make this happen?

Are there any plans for redoing the exterior? If is that set already?

@Terence - great, great idea with hooking up to a coffee roaster. this portion of the coworking space can serve as a really chill "relax zone" to get away from the work a bit and meet and chat with people. it could also be a great place for casual meetings with your team, other vegas techers, new and interested coworking members, and even investors etc. the energy from having this attached to the coworking space could do wonders!

I'd also like to suggest an urban hydroponics project (as Shavonnah suggested a while ago) as a neat way to relax away from your work and do some growing or picking/eating fresh fruit and vegetables. healthy snacking? good for the mind and body. :)
