Open Gov Hub is a 20,000 sq. ft dynamic meeting place in the heart of downtown DC.
Our mission is to open up governments and empower citizens around the world by offering collaborative programs and shared resources, including a themed, world-class coworking space and many other professional services. We are the world's first innovation hub focused on the theme of open government - promoting transparency, accountability and civic engagement worldwide.
We also run near-daily events (from networking to educational and professional development sessions) that help members build skills, connect, learn and work together, increasing their individual and shared social impact.
We expanded this Spring and are now welcoming new members and are excited to have you visit our brand new, world-class space!
We have 178 desks, 35 collaboration spaces (meeting rooms equipped with new AV and whiteboards), all height-adjustable desks, a Media Lab, Wellness Room, and two outdoor spaces!
IMPORTANT: Please sign up for a Deskpass with us at least 24 hours (1 full business day) in advance, so we can make sure everything is ready for your arrival! :)
Open Gov Hub is located in central downtown DC.
We are within walking distance to ALL Metro lines. The nearest Metro station is McPherson Square (blue/orange lines, 6 min walk), but you can also reach us from Mt Vernon/Convention Center (green/yellow) or Metro Center (red), both a 10 min walk.
Daily car parking and bike parking are also available within our building's garage (free bike parking, up to $17/day for car garage parking). Hourly street parking is also available on 13th St.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
At Open Gov Hub, Meeting Rooms can be booked by the hour. For those looking for a workspace for an entire day, Day Passs and Meeting Rooms are also available. In addition, Private Offices can also be booked on a monthly basis.
-
Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with Open Gov Hub.
-
Storage in coworking spaces can be limited, with most of it reserved for members with dedicated desks and private offices. However, you can reach out to the coworking operator using the form on the right side of the page to see what options are currently available.
-
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Open Gov Hub, who is more than happy to help out.
-
The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
