YOU'LL PUT ON PANTS AND GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
Coworking encourages you to be more productive and less distracted by day to day household tasks. You'll get more done while building social and professional contacts you can't make in your living room!

A WORK SPACE MEANS A WORK DAY.
Coworking provides structure, which can create a healthier work-life balance. CoLab gives you the space to work and our flexible member access means your business hours are on your schedule. Don't let your home office suck you in "after hours;" instead, work at CoLab and get your work done on your time!

Coffee shops are a great workplace alternative, but you may burn a mug-shaped hole in your pocket working there every day! Working at CoLab means free coffee all day, and you won't leave stinking of burnt beans.
