Place looks great, I love the idea of this company. I own 3 businesses and I was looking for a place to surround myself with other entrepreneurs for the vibes. Working next to people who are working and focused is nice. I work long late hours and this was ideal. Unfortunately, I had the displeasure with dealing with the woman in front today 5/15/19 at 3pm. Treated me so rudely because she found my personality "aggressive"...her words. She couldn't maintain a professional attitude and let her demeanor become impatient, rude and very unwelcoming. Please train or change your staff to people who have people skills. I don't have time for this.

(if you know what I mean), this is nothing like that. It feels much more professional and it does feel like I can concentrate more into work without distractions. I would recommend to anyone needing space to actually work.

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.

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. But the energy is still high and perfect for working, studying or even relaxing back with a beverage from the coffee bar. Location is ideal as it's close to EVERYTHING from great restaurants to the lake. The lake is a quick 10-minute walk for an escape to meditate or maybe even a picnic lunch. 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. I am looking forward to getting back to normal and watching Desklabs become more social and energetic! Keep up the Fire, Team #Desklabs!

I was expecting a mini tour, things to know about the space, a quick list of rules, etc. Instead, I felt like I was bothering her. She didn't move, she just said, "the kitchen is that way" and pointed to her right. I spent the rest of the day slowly walking into hallways and rooms, wondering if I was intruding on a private workspace or if I was entering a phone room. This place is very, very quiet. Even whispering makes you feel awkward. I was with a co-worker and we were whispering quietly to each other after walking in. I was saying hello, the usual greetings. A woman nearby walked over to tell us that we needed to not talk because she was trying to concentrate. I was so irritated that my coworker and I up and left. We worked the rest of the day at a nearby coffee shop that was warm and friendly. I'm not sure if whispering is banned in the main work area but if so, I didn't see any signs and we weren't given rules. I wasn't sure if I should have defended myself or if I was actually in the wrong. Overall cold and frustrating vibe for me. Will stick to coffee shops in the future.

Parking is a bit of a nightmare, so I used the SpotHero app or something similar.

Brooke (community manager) is fantastic, and they even have a half sheet summary with all the information someone with a day pass would need to know. Only challenge is getting back into the space if you leave and there's no one at the front desk. Otherwise, love the snack pantry in the entryway and abundance of coffee. Would come back again.

However, a few things happened in my room that made my one night stay disappointing was: 1. My tv did not work. I tried to play Netflix and it played it for like 5 mins and then my tv went black. It kept doing that. 2. The first time I used the restroom the whole toilet paper holder fell out the wall. And there was no way to put it back without the constant falling. Other than these two things my stay was a great experience'

Aw dang. You never been to the Study? Babies, you gotta get out your house and get your work on…read moredown there. Seriously, if you're in the market for a coworking spot you gotta do yourself a solid and give the Study a slide. This place is the tops. You know how hard we work? Pubert can work. But sometimes working at home can just get us all crazy in the head. That open bottle of wine from last night is calling. The cats are screaming -- it's like, kitty, I just fed you and you still hungry? Babies, we just gotta change out of our softpants, put on some bigboy slacks, and get to work. For those of us that work for ourselves, having a place like the Study all local and stuff makes it so easy to please those clients. Our clients happy, Pubert happy. This dude that run the thing, Andy, the guy is legit. Andy'll take care of you. He keeps the Study real nice. Fast internet, lotsa desks and tables, quiet atmosphere. And listen, babies, this dude made us some pour-over coffee. Yeah, you heard that right. Dude busts out the Chemex and makes us coffee. We had to do a doubletake. We judge a coworking space by how much work we can pound out. And babies, you'll never believe how productively the Rose & Company rocked it while at the Study. Got them proposals out, them numbers crunched, the clients pleasured. With time to spare, we even busted out for a quick slurp over at the Goose Island tap room that is literally on the same block as the Study. Can't beat that, babies. Gimme them hops! Maybe you see us there next time you come in. Pubert all over the country these days, but Chicago is where we hang our hat. And when we home in Chicago and need to crank out some work, the Study is our spot. Convenient and quiet. That's our jam. Now get to work!

The office space is clean and modern. I use a flex desk which is fine for my needs. The only concern I've ever had is that if you're not here earlier in the morning - and you need a dual-monitor desk - they fill up fast. I've found the people that share the space are very nice. A few tend to get loud on the phone at times, but no worse than if I were to work at a Starbucks. There are private phone areas as well - so most people use those. The staff is very quick to reply and friendly. I deal with Melissa the most and have found her professional and pleasant. The internet has been slow a few times (as stated below), but I think that's more of an issue with the provider versus this location. In any event, when this happens the problem is always addressed quickly. If you need a break from working at home, I'd suggest trying this out. Co-working spaces/office sharing helped me put more structure around my work day. And made me more productive. Can't complain on that.
