- 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 ahome 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 theoffice environment. It takes thehot 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.External links
