Work is changing, and coworking and flexible office spaces like worCPlaces’ Lakeside Campus in Sandy Springs, Georgia, are at the forefront. Dive in below to learn more about the benefits of coworking and flexible office spaces, what to look for in a flexible office space, and everything worCPlaces at Lakeside brings to the table for those in search of high-quality Atlanta, Georgia office space.

What is a coworking space?

Coworking spaces are dynamic shared workspaces that welcome professionals with diverse business needs to collaborate, innovate, and thrive by sharing office facilities, tools, and services. Coworking and flexible office spaces are particularly appealing to solopreneurs and the self-employed, but many small and growing businesses have begun to catch on to the benefits of coworking: from reduced overhead to elevated support services and the all-important “chance encounter” at the water cooler.

Office campuses like worCPlaces at Lakeside offer amenities that turbocharge businesses in growth mode, with diverse space options that accommodate any team task and provisions to support the health, wellness, and security of the modern business.

How does coworking space work?

There is no one-size-fits-all way to work. That is why coworking facilities and flexible workspaces provide an array of meeting and seating areas to enable productivity no matter how your business operates. At worCPlaces’ Lakeside campus, dedicated office spaces, lounge areas, private phone booths, outdoor work areas, and digitally reservable conference and meeting rooms give your team the flexibility to tackle any task.

Unlike some coworking spaces, worCPlaces campuses are bundled at an “all-inclusive” rate that covers the underlying rent, FF&E, technology, and amenities, offering the best value for companies looking to preserve capital while enjoying flexible terms.

What to look for in a coworking space

It can be daunting to choose a coworking or flexible office space if you are new to the arena, but here are some things to consider during your hunt:

Location: Centrally located coworking and flexible office spaces with convenient access to amenities can save your team time and ensure work-life balance.
Services: Printers, high-speed WiFi, and ample charging ports are essential, but keep an eye out for coworking and flexible office spaces that offer top-tier amenities, such as dry-cleaning services and on-demand auto detailing.
Facilities: Reservable meeting spaces, flexible seating arrangements, communal serveries, open lounges, and break-out space can all be crucial for getting your team on the same page.
Community: Many coworking spaces host events, workshops, and networking sessions, which can be a valuable bonus for companies on the rise.
Cost: While budget plays a role in any business decision, the emphasis here should be on value. Choose a coworking space that justifies its cost by offering an enriching environment, robust amenities, and the resources necessary to help your team do its best work.

But should you wish to leave the office for a meal, you can head to our on-campus café, MiMi’s Bistro, where you will find breakfast dishes, paninis, burgers, salads, and more. Nearby dining options run the gamut from quick-service to elevated fare perfect for client lunches.
