We were given a very nice tour of the facility. I can see that it is a work in progress and believe it is going to be an extremely great place for those who need space. they provide private offices for rent, big rooms for classes or lectures, and small meeting rooms. I already have an idea how I can utilize the space. There are some fantastic features from when the place was built over a 100 years ago. Let's See this place grow.

Don't assume just because it makes perfect sense to you, that the other 99% of us dense folks will know exactly what you meant. And, no, this business has absolutely nothing to do with fowl of any kind that I can discern. It is actually a great Co-Working Space. I stopped in to Free Range for an event that was happening there. While I was there, I asked to have a tour of the space. They were surprised, but very accommodating. I was surprised at how large a space it is and how many different options to work, collaborate and hold meetings of different sizes are available. Private office spaces. Conference rooms and large meeting rooms. Bright and airy spaces. Not cramped / swished together spaces that I have seen in some co-working spaces. If you are looking for an every-now-and-then space, or a more permanent "office" space, check out Free Range. Ask for a tour. They have plenty of parking . . . .and even a 2nd location in Nob Hill, if this location just west of the University doesn't work for you. Why did I only give them four stars? Well, because I haven't actually worked there . . .yet. But, when and if I need a co-working space, this will definitely be my go-to option.

The number one thing I love about FatPipe is the community. The members have created a positive,…read moredown-to-earth place; everyone makes you feel welcome. Many of those working there focus on altruistic endeavors. The CCO Lisa is great. She's very understanding and affable. She wants you to feel comfortable there. The space is clean. The working desks are roomy; there's a nice variety of desks, lounge areas, and private rooms. The ground floor maintains the essence of the old library structure at the original Albuquerque High School with high ceilings. Most of the buildings there are residential. Because this was an old school, there's a lovely courtyard to take breaks or work. The basement level is more cozy and modern and brightly lit. Perfect for an artist like me. Hopefully, there's a spot where you can spread out more if you have an easel. I love the vast open space and being around others, though I enjoyed the times when no one was there. Overall, FatPipe is on the quieter side. Everyone keeps their phones silent mode. Of course, you will hear collaborating and Zoom calls, but it's not loud. The carpeting helps with that. They have a weekly yoga session to start your day and 1 Million Cups. Lisa brings speakers in regularly. As an artist, I love that FatPipe is open 24/7 for monthly members and beyond.

FatPipe is a co-working space located on the Rio Rancho Central NM Community College Campus. (It's…read moreeasier to find than it is to say!) Located in the CNM building on NM-528. When you enter the front door you will find beautiful new offices with lots of windows and a professional, friendly staff. Ask for a tour. I'm always amazed to find how Albuquerque is growing and how each new business offers great neighborhood opportunities to conduct local business. They have drop-in rates, or you can rent an office space (cubicles & private offices) for reasonable rates - both part time or full-time. FatPipe offers free monthly workshops. Check out their event calendar at http://fatpipenm.com/events/. I attended a free workshop on "Intellectual Property Basics" at this new FatPipe location. This Rio Rancho FatPipe location is close by if you live on the West Side of Albuquerque, or in Rio Rancho, or even Bernalillo. For a special business treat, attend a Wednesday morning (9am) live stream of "1 Million Cups" hosted at FatPipe.

I would never recommend this business especially with their clear lack of support for our local economy.

I stopped by this morning with the intention of checking out the space for free during Tech Fiesta…read more Their Yelp hours say they open at 9AM...but when I arrived at 9:45 the door was locked! I tried calling the number listed on their page, but no answer. So that was disappointing. From what I could see through the window it looked like a nice area but I no actual produce. Haha. Perhaps they were closed due to the Tech Fiesta events, but there was no sign or notification of that anywhere. On top of not being open, the space was hard to get to. It is in the same building as A New Awakening, which is like a counseling center. So you have to walk through the counseling area and at the end of the hall is the entrance to The Produce Company. Parking is always annoying downtown, and this place is no exception. For the entire building there are 4 spaces in the alley that are reserved for customers. Otherwise, you gotta feed the meter. Considering that I would want to stay and work for a number of hours, paying to park is highly unappealing. So overall, in comparison to Convivium Coworking and Fat Pipe ABQ, this place cannot compete. It may be worth trying out if you live close and can walk/bike, and if they are actually open. Otherwise, I say skip it.

And you're obviously thinking, Well of course he's giving the place five stars. And you're right about the former. But you're wrong about the latter. Okay, I'm a sucker for nonprofits. I am. I get giddy about doing humanitarian work because I figure it comes down to this: you're born, you live, you die, what did you do with all of that time? Sell snack chips? Watch football?

The SVEDC encompasses everything you wish you were doing while you watched the latest episode of Survivor and checked on Lindsay Lohan's Twitter posts. From TEDxABQ to The Mixing Bowl (a community kitchen for organizations feeding those in need), the place supports the south valley in countless ways. So many great things are happening here, in a community that knows Burque better than anyone else. So yeah, I'm pimping this biz. The five stars are awarded to the people, the everyday persons that inhabit this wonderful space. Come visit, please, even if you can't make the event. They'll show you around and give you the skinny on getting active in this great neighborhood and the city at large. Five people stars. Salud!

Great little space, nice couches, chairs, desks; even a counter where you can work while standing. The people here seem very friendly; I think they may start accepting Dwolla as payment soon as well. $5 for a day pass puts them in the category of coworking spaces that I can use regularly on my budget without worrying overmuch; the only other one for that price I know of here in ABQ is TechLove in Nob Hill. The building is beautiful and houses a number of other great resources helping small businesses and startups that I haven't even fully explored yet, and am looking forward to doing in the near future. But the coworking space is great. Great alternative to TechLove without breaking the bank.
