Jae was amazing with touring me and explaining everything. I love the space and overall experience. One thing I didn't realize that bothered my proctored exam was the automated light that turned off every 15 mins..

Groundwork New Bedford is amazing! I was in town for the day and needed a place to work. I happened upon Groundwork and had an extremely productive day! The space is beautiful and inviting (as are the other folks using the space) and coffee and snacks were a bonus! I highly recommend this space!

Absolutely recommend! This space is perfect in so many ways. Staff was super available and friendly. The space itself is lovely--very sunny and modern-industrial looking, other patrons very warm and friendly but also doing their own thing. I used this space to take a practice MCAT so needed a chill environment, and this fit the bill but exceeded expectations. Even though I did not interact with other guests too much everyone was very warm.

Really enjoyed this space! Felt very comfortable throughout the day, and staff helped me feel right at home. WiFi was great, desk chairs comfy, and phone booths worked great for meetings. Looking forward to returning soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Groundwork is open during regular business hours listed above. For any other requirements, make sure to contact the operator directly.

  • 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 Groundwork.

  • 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.

  • 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 Groundwork, who is more than happy to help out.

  • Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Schedule a tour here by filling out the form along with the date and time when you would like to visit the space and we’ll see you there.
