Great concept. Shared work space…read more I went for a meeting with someone who has a membership or account there.... I don't have an account and this was my first time. With that said I don't know what it is normally like, but I had a pretty bad experience. My meeting was set to start at 9:30AM and I showed up about 15 minutes early. I stopped at the front desk and spoke with the attendant behind the counter and explained I was there for a meeting with someone else. She asked that I sign in to the tablet. Using the tablet I found the name of the person I was there to see and checked in. The attendant told me my meeting wasn't scheduled until 2PM and I was early. I checked my email and calendar again and it said 9:30AM. The attendant told me I could wait in the main area but to not go far so she could still see me. I then asked if I could use the restroom while I waited, and she said I would need a key card which I would only get once they figure out the meeting time and the person I was meeting. Ok, so I waited 15 minutes and the person I was meeting showed up. Then the attendant came over and said she read the meeting wrong and I was right on the meeting time. Everyone makes mistakes so I said to myself to just let it go. The person I was meeting had a large room reserved and there were about 8 of us total in the meeting. We went into the meeting room and we couldn't figure out how to turn the TV on so we could use the screen as a visual display. After 4 different technicians came in and an hour after our scheduled start time they said they had to call in their main technician from another WeWork office and it would take a while. Even though I was only a guest, I asked if they could just give us a different room so we could get started. They said they didn't have any...even though I saw another unoccupied room that would have fit us. So, almost 2 hours into our scheduled time the main technician showed up and fixed it in about 2 minutes. I don't think any of the other 4 technicians understood what to do, as it was really an easy fix. We asked for an extension on our room time which they gave us, so I could see they were trying to be helpful. The last thing I found very irritating was the bathroom situation. I believe the only company on the floor we were on was WeWork. To get to the bathroom you have to exit out and I'm the hallway were shared bathrooms.... again only used by WeWork as there were no other companies on that floor. It was early in the morning and they didn't have paper towels or a hand dryer in the men's room. It was only until the afternoon when they had put the paper towels in place. That means that at the start of the day no one checks to make sure everything is ready for the day. A lot of wiping hands on your pants taking place there.

If seems to be a co-working space, but I was here for a workshop. Had I known I would be the first…read morereview, I'd have taken some photos because their website is conspicuously light on photos. It wasn't a bad space. The room we were in was kind of on the small side, since there were 5 rows of tables set up in the room. They were those skinny little tables you see at conferences and stuff too, which was a little bit of a pain, but no big. What actually surprised me most was that there weren't more outlets. I had my laptop to take notes, as did a couple other women, and the only outlets were high up (like more than halfway up) the wall, and only on one side of the room. My laptop didn't die, though, so it worked it alright since I was able to charge during the break. Just a bit unexpected in a modern space. I was here on a Saturday morning, in a small workshop that only had about 20 people total, so I'm not sure how it would be on a weekday, but we were the only ones there during the timeframe of our event. That was nice because it was super quiet. A couple quirks about the building, if you're heading here: They have smart elevators, and though I'm not sure exactly how they work the guard selected the floor from his desk and told me which elevator I would take to get to my floor. There are touchpads just outside the elevators, and on the way down, the only option the touchpad fave me was the lobby (although if you work there, there must be a way to access other floors). There are only about 4 buttons in the actual elevator. Also--on this floor, at least--the bathrooms are secured and you have to enter a code to enter. Nice for keeping it clean and orderly, but it could've a little stressful if you forget the code! We didn't have any kind of tech issues or anything, though it was more than a little annoying to have to agree to get promo emails from them in order to log onto the WiFi--the space was being paid for; that seems like it should have been included in the rental fee. I'm also not sure if adding a slightly larger space made it that much more expensive or something, because the catered lunch we had was set up in a kind of closet-like alcove adjacent to the larger room we were using. But overall it seems like a useful space for small meetings or other events, presentation, or co-working.

So cool that they have the entire building, including the rooftop. Bridget greeted me at the front desk and showed me around. Fantastic customer service. Each floor had a different vibe. Because I had to take a few meetings, I hung out on a pretty empty floor with a desk all to myself. WiFi was strong and there was hardworking staff cleaning around me the entire time. I walked around the building after I was done with work. Rooftop didn't seem super impressive, but I can imagine dressing it up for special events. Always love when there's an espresso machine in the kitchen, though the music is SUPER loud and the communal tables don't lock. Definitely vintage look with all the old-looking furniture. Overall solid work spot to check out if you're local or visiting Chicago. Spacious and perfect for all types of people and industries. Would love to be around the regulars next time!

I have been here since around August 2020 in the height of Coronavirus, so it's been a little quieter around here.

In the last 6 months, I have seen a lot of change here at DeskLabs for the better. The owner has deliberately built a highly capable and customer oriented team lead by a new community manager, Kiely Cross. She is aces! Kiely and her team are dedicated to created a dynamic and inviting environment for their community.

It's a fantastic coworking space for those that are looking for a spot to do work that is well appointed, welcoming and community-focused. Their leadership sets them apart and rather than focusing on squeezing dollars from their membership - they want to build a helpful, strong and welcoming community for everyone. We have private desks which at the current rate is a steal for anything in Logan or other neighborhoods, but public space abounds for those not looking for a private space. There are conference rooms, phone booths and common areas that are all able to be reserved by their online system. I've been to a number of coworking spaces that are either incredibly pretentious or try so hard to be cool and edgy that they lose their purpose. People can actually get shit done here and meet others that are entrepreneurs who can benefit their company. We've added 3 contractors to our company roster simply by being here and they have added to the quality of work our company provides. If you're looking for a space to call your own, get work done and hang out in a wonderful community - Second Shift is the place for you.

We wanted a professional office with a more neighborhood feel that is accessible to our south side Chicago clients. When University CoWork opened last year, we immediately closed our expensive downtown office and got a $95 flexible membership, and then upgraded to a $295 dedicated desk. This allows us to do occasional work on the south side of Chicago. We now have a professional presence, and can meet our clients at our office closer to where they work and live. I love the phone and meeting rooms. Great technology. We are able to offer our clients parking and coffee in our beautiful new space. Our firm also hosts investment events in the University CoWork boardroom, classroom, and event spaces. The video wall with intrgrated speakers is a crowd pleaser. The first financial services firm in Woodlawn in decades, I particularly enjoy bringing knowledge related to investments and retirement accounts to the neighborhood. Dozens of people who have attended our talks have learned about and set up tax-friendly retirement accounts as a direct result of being exposed to this information. We have also hired people from Woodlawn, and patronize south side vendors as much as possible. I strongly recommend University CoWork to anyone looking to grow their business. The facility and business / nonprofit community are unmatched. The other members have complimentary areas of expertise. Many have become vendors, clients, and friends. I have learned about branding, how to build business credit, social media, and even how to use art to engage people. The $50 virtual office, private office, shared office, membet-only events and socials, and communuty events are unparalleled.
