Exciting News for Greenville: New Coworking Space Coming Soon!
Greenville is buzzing with excitement this autumn as a new coworking space called Switchyards is all set to open its doors on October 17. This new location will be joining the ranks of 17 existing Switchyards locations, with Asheville, North Carolina also joining the fun within a month. If you’ve been looking for a fresh and inspiring place to work, you’ll want to know all about what Switchyards has to offer.
A Unique Blend of Work and Play
So, what exactly is Switchyards? According to its CEO and founder, Michael Tavani, it’s like a “mashup of a coffee shop, a great hotel lobby, and a library.” That’s right—when you step into Switchyards, you’re not just walking into any ordinary workspace. It’s designed to be a “gym for the mind,” a cozy third place for work, and truly a unique environment for anyone needing to get some work done.
Diverse Workspaces for Everyone
The new Greenville location at 1263 Pendleton St. will feature 5,330 square feet of space tailored to suit the varying needs of its users. Tavani emphasizes the importance of having two separate spaces designed for distinctly different workplace styles. This design allows you to choose between a quieter atmosphere or a more vibrant, bustling vibe. “Some people like the quiet, some like the buzz, and others appreciate both within one setting,” Tavani explains. This is one of the standout features that makes Switchyards such a valuable hub for remote work.
Affordable Membership Options
Not only is the space beautiful, but it’s also affordable! If you’re new to Switchyards, you can try it out for just $12 for eight days—not a bad deal for a potential new work home! After the trial, monthly dues are set at a reasonable $100. This simple pricing structure aims to make it easy for people to find a reliable workspace that isn’t tied to traditional office constraints.
A Solution for Remote Work
As many people have embraced remote work, Switchyards provides a refreshing alternative to the usual coffee shop or home office. Tavani’s concept stemmed from an observation made nearly a decade ago, at the onset of the remote work revolution. The idea was to create a space where people could “switch it up”, stepping out of their houses and into an environment designed specifically for productivity. “We wanted it to be a reliable place where you can work surrounded by others, not just another office you go to for 40 hours a week,” he adds.
What to Expect
As the opening date approaches, details about the amenities at the new Greenville location are becoming available. While it is promised to provide a variety of workspaces, the key feature may very well be the assurance that you’re not stuck working from home. The atmosphere will cater to different types of workers—helping you find exactly what you need, whether that’s a quiet spot for concentration or a lively environment for collaboration.
Get Ready for Early Access!
If you are eager to dive into the Switchyards experience, early access memberships will go live on October 10 at 10 AM. However, hurry—only 250 memberships will be available at the start. For those interested in becoming a member, you can find more information about sneak peeks and member offerings at the Switchyards website.
A Vibrant Addition to the Community
With the grand opening just around the corner, the city is buzzing with anticipation. Switchyards is poised to become a vibrant part of the Greenville community, offering a welcoming space for remote workers and creatives alike. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or just someone who craves a change of scenery, the new Switchyards location promises to be a fantastic addition to your working lifestyle!
