Frequently Asked Questions

• What should a good coworking space in Wilmington provide?

  A good coworking space should provide all of the basic amenities needed to get work done — like fast and reliable Wi-Fi, ergonomic furniture and different types of work or relaxing areas — but also extra features, such as printing, copying and scanning services or complimentary beverages or even snacks. Aside from these, coworking spaces provide different work arrangements that suit the varying needs of workers, from open desk areas to private offices. Notably, one of the most beneficial traits of a good coworking space is its community. In most cases, coworking operators foster and nurture a sense of community by allowing different workers from various backgrounds to come together and participate in exciting and fun activities, events and gatherings outside of working hours.

• Can I book a coworking space by the hour? How about for a day/month?

  Coworking spaces in Wilmington offer highly flexible options when it comes to different work arrangements, however, not all operators offer hourly and daily bookings. These are generally reserved for meeting rooms and event spaces and are generally less applicable to common work arrangements, like an open workspace or a dedicated desk. However, hot desks are available in some locations and certain operators enable day passes or a trial period, for users who want to test the waters before committing to a space.

• Can I visit or tour the coworking space before making a decision?

  In many cases, coworking spaces allow you to take a tour of the location before you fully commit to any type of membership. Some even have virtual tours that you can take from the comfort of your own home. These allow you to view the space, the floorplan, the different types of working arrangements, and the overall design and vibe of the space. This way, you can see if the space matches your needs to make an informed decision.
