My job officially closed their RTP office last summer, and while I love working from home full time, I do love having the option to meet up with coworkers in person as well! The coworking space at The Frontier is so perfect. You need a membership, but it is free to sign up online. There are so many seating options and small conference rooms to utilize there. The best part is the space is dog-friendly so I love to bring my dog to work with me! It is a short walk over to Boxyard for lots of delicious, local food options as well. They also offer lots of different events and happy hours you can find online or their social media. Highly recommend! read more

Free coworking? Yes, please! Frontier RTP is the only free coworking space in the Triangle! This is a great place to stop in and get some work done. And when you get hungry, you can always walk over to Boxyard and grab some delicious food! They also have free conference rooms, which is a huge plus. They have free beer and wine on Thursdays, it's an event they do called Out of Office and it gets a great crowd! They have other free events, too, like fitness and lunch and learns. It's a great place to spend the day. read more

I attended a workshop in one of the classrooms, and enjoyed seeing what the Frontier was all about. (I've heard of it but had never been.) It was a good place for a workshop. The only downside was not many outlets for plugging in our required laptops. (That's more feedback for the workshop facilitators, maybe.) The place seemed to be hopping overall, with plenty of outlets and places to sit in the open area, with both soft seating and tables/chairs. read more

This place supports the bathroom bill and will not allow you to have an event here if they suspect any trans people might use the bathroom. HER: What kinds of people will be at this event? ME: All kinds of people. Young, old, a wide demographic. HER: I just want to make sure our facilities could accommodate everyone. ME: You mean like handicap ramps? HER: Well, (nervous laughter) when it comes to politics we're Switzerland. ME: (finally realizing what she's talking about) You mean you hoard money for Nazi's cause that's what Switzerland actually did during WW2. HER: (more shit grin nervous laughter) Well, let me talk to the managers here and get back to you. She later emailed me a very basic rejection letter with of course no reference to HB2. FUCK THESE PEOPLE. read more

This is one of the buildings in the old IBM complex that is in serious need of renovation and could stand to get some use. Glad to see some of the space is starting to be refurbished and getting some occupancy after years of being vacant. I was invited to attend a Thursday "happy hour" to celebrate some recent transactions at our office. As such, I ended up getting a short tour of the building. The "per office" rate actually seems reasonable for the small guy who only wants an office or three. Note - rates SEEM like class A office space rates (when you do the math to get the /sq-ft rate) being charged for space that needs a facelift. However, the space comes with several perks (listed by the ownership under the buisness page) which might otherwise have to be paid out of pocket by a company leasing space elsewhere, it easily balances out the difference between the value of Class A to Class B rates for the office space. I'm really not sure what to think of the event/venue space itself the way it currently stands. The space itself seems outdated, despite some of it being freshly painted, it really needs a modern upfit. Office space is also somewhat out of date, but it seems much more functional than the event/venue space. I'm not sure I like the idea of using the overpass hallway as an event venue; that space is very narrow, with little to no airflow with other cosmetic and water intrusion issues. The Thursday "happy hour" is enticing - who can object to free beer and pizza, socializing and networking? The space that houses the happy hour is interesting - exercise equipment is scattered throughout, it's artsy and someone seems to have a green thumb that also adds to the ambiance. Almost everywhere there seems to be a place to sit down and plug in. read more

This space is kind of neat/funky (which is not a bad thing). Yes, it is not the most modern space (former IBM space), but it is a good place for small companies to gather together or even freelancers. The internet can be slow when there are a lot of people on it. I have also attended several meetups here so it is good for that purpose as well. Every Thursday they have a FREE BEER happy hour. It is good beer too, not the cheap domestic stuff I buy at home. Also, food trucks will come here on a rotating basis every Friday. read more

They had a free event here where professionals working in the RTP area could receive two free beers and have an opportunity to network. I hung out with some coworkers and played 'What Do You Meme' for the first time ever. It was pretty chill. I only peeked into some of the workspaces. The facility looks decent, seems huge and has whiteboards, rooms and screens. Maybe I'll swing by again if I need an area to work with others. read more

This place is absolutely incredible!!! They offer free WiFi and a free workspace to any and all. There are so many different seating options. They have something for everyone! I like to study in a cubicle because I am easily distracted, they offer that. They have big comfy chairs, cushy couches, large tables for group, small tables, secluded areas, areas out in the open, high top tables, glass tables. Everything! They offer any type of workspace you could possibly need. They even have private conference rooms that you can reserve in advance. They have a grab and go snack area where you can purchase drinks, sandwiches, chips, granola bars, even ice cream. They have clean bathrooms. They have a calendar of events on their website and have food trucks on site every day for lunch. You can even take your dog with you! They provide dog beds! Last time I was there Bojangles and Starbucks randomly showed up for everyone. Free food and coffee! On Thursday nights they have a local brewery come in and everybody gets free beer. Free beer!!! This place is the greatest!! You have to check it out for yourself! I cannot believe that it's free and open to anyone. I'd absolutely pay to go there. read more

Very cool place for co-working. Lots of open tables, meeting rooms, etc. However - warning - if you are looking for a place where you can take a conference call or work on your own without distraction, this is NOT the place. It's very loud and busy. read more
