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

  • For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.

    On the other hand, private offices are best suited for focused work and private interactions. They're ideal for solo workers as well as teams seeking a dedicated space, shielded from distractions.

    Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.

  • 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.

  • 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.  

  • Flexibility is the cornerstone of coworking, so you always have the option to adjust your workspace to match your current needs. With month-to-month memberships, you can effortlessly upgrade, downgrade, or even switch between different coworking plans.

    While the standard practice is to change memberships only once the current one ends, Groundwork may be able to offer additional options, so it’s best to reach out to their staff 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.
