Brian Russell, a community-tech organizer who I’ve known for a number of years, has recently opened a coworking space in Carrboro, NC. Coworking is a new form of shared office space that blends a coffeeshop-like atmosphere with a professional office environment. Designed with teleworkers and the self-employed in mind, Carrboro Creative Coworking is sort of a third space for work.
Brian has done a wonderful job in getting the place up and running. He’s got an absolutely professional setup, great comfy chairs, and the Coworking office is in 2-minute-walk proximity to Weaver Street Market and all of downtown Carrboro. I was really impressed – and I look forward to working from CCC (looking like Thursdays might be my coworking days).
I really suggest you stop by and check the place out. The rates for coworking space start at 9 bucks a day, including free coffee (Brian had Larry’s Beans when I dropped by – yum). For home and coffeeshop workers, this is a small price to pay to get out of the house and get some great work done. And while I should also note that at least 5 bus lines go right past Carrboro Creative Coworking, there’s also plenty of parking.
If you’d like to try Coworking out for a day, Brian has offered Unit Structures readers a free one-day pass (restrictions apply). Just print this out and bring it in, or tell then that you found out about the pass from Unit Structures. I’m excited to start working from CCC, and I look forward to seeing you there!
