Frequently Asked Questions

• What should a good coworking space in Tampa 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.

• How many coworking spaces are in Tampa?

  Currently, there are 33 coworking spaces up for grabs in Tampa. However, you can always expand your area of search based on your location or according to convenience. In some cases, you can even find coworking spaces in the suburbs or outside of the main business district.

• 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.

• Are there any pet-friendly coworking spaces in Tampa?

  Some coworking spaces have a pet-friendly policy, allowing you to bring your furry friend and keep them close during your workday. To make sure that you see all of the pet-friendly spaces, filter your search by selecting the “pet-friendly” filter when browsing options in Tampa. Or, if you’re not completely sure, reach out to the operator to inquire about this policy.

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

  When it comes to various work arrangements, coworking spaces in Tampa provide incredibly flexible possibilities; however, not all operators accept hourly and daily reservations. As opposed to regular work arrangements like an open workspace or a dedicated desk, hourly bookings are typically designed for meeting rooms and event venues. However, for users who want to try things out before committing to a space, hot desks are available in some locations, and other operators provide day passes or a trial period.
