Glossary of Terms for Coworking Spaces
A dedicated desk is for someone that values the security of having their own desk, chair, and filing cabinet, but they don’t mind sharing that office space with 3-4 other like-minded professionals.
For entrepreneurs that want to be a part of a coworking community without necessarily being out in the open, and who don’t want to leave their desk rental to chance, they might find that renting a dedicated desk is their best option. The beauty of our coworking at West Quay Offices in all its shapes and forms is that it’s extremely flexible and offerings are designed with you in mind.
It’s like regular coworking, with a little more structure and routine. You get to work with the same handful of professionals from day-to-day and work at the same desk, and you can lock up all your necessities, so they are ready and waiting each day. Dedicated desks are great for individual entrepreneurs that want to feel a sense of consistency in their day but aren’t concerned about having a private office all to themselves.
When a workstation at a coworking space is allocated to a single user – normally rented on a monthly basis so that personal belongings and computers can be left behind overnight.
if you work alone but like being part of a community, then joining a coworking space like West Quay Offices with a dedicated desk will give you your own workstation no one else uses plus access to shared amenities in the office (like meeting rooms and lounges) and a way to meet new people!
Companies who are adding new team members quickly can rapidly scale their office space by simply growing their number of workstations with their headcount at a per-person monthly charge which is easy to budget for.
for groups of coworkers who may like being around others, clusters of desks in an open environment can give a team familiarity whilst making them still feel part of a community.
