Co-working center

Co-working center

A Co-Working Center, or Drop-in Center, or Hot Desking, is a shared office environment, utilized by multiple individuals and companies. These companies are either small start-ups looking for an alternative to a home office or the local café. This work environment also appeals to individuals that primarily work in the field, but require a “home base” at the beginning or end of a given day.

The Co-Working concept, also known as coworking, is designed to bring another dimension to the office environment. It takes the hot desking concept that originated in the 1980s and brings it to a new level. This office space caters to those that are in need of something between a Virtual Office and private office.
