Things are going very well for CoworkBuffalo. After gaining and maintaining members since opening in May 2012, the natural progression was to relocate to meet demand.
Formerly residing above Spot Coffee on Delaware and Chippewa (see more), you can now find them in a larger space on the “newly renovated” 600 block of Main Street (Pierce Building).
While the productive energy and camaraderie of the old space lives on in the new location, it will definitely be more accessible to those outside of the close-knit ‘techy clique’ here in Buffalo. Even the mere fact that CoworkBuffalo is now ground level certainly helps encourage the curiosity of foot traffic passing by.
After launching a successful Kickstarter campaign with over 100 backers earlier this year, the space has many additional features. Some of the new amenities include: three phone booths, secure storage lockers for members, a full size fridge to accommodate more lunches, and even more ‘hacker-type’ projects to keep the vibe laid back and fun.
This gadget-loving group wouldn’t be who they are without also developing a smart phone app for members, which unlocks the door once you send a text message to the server.
The aim of the founders has always been to not only to provide space for remote workers and groups, but to also create networking opportunities. CoworkBuffalo frames their mission with the simple yet sincere statement, “We’re here to make a difference, one desk at a time.”
