Coworking Space Rules

[BrianR]

After doing a basic search on the keyword "rules" on the list I
figured I'd ask this question. Hope I'm not rehashing something.

What kind of posted community rules do you have at your coworking
space? If any?

I'm in the process of developing some and could use your kind advice.
Its probably important to note that my coworking space is a for-profit
business.

Thanks,

Those are nice Tara. I love the way they are written. :)

Are they intended to help you in legal defense or just prevent the "no
one said you had rules" complaints?

Kind of the latter. I haven't heard of legal issues as of yet.

Brian,

We don't have any posted rules at Caroline Collective. When people ask
how the space works, we explain that it is a work environment with the
expected noise from social interaction. We also point to several rooms
where conference calls can be taken without disturbing work. Common
courtesy is mostly self-enforced.

We didn't post any rules, either...until they were needed. I would advise putting up something because the dude who violated them told me he was entitled to abuse the space 'cause nobody had told him differently. But we made our rules kind of fun instead of demanding.

Thanks for posting these, Tara! I'm in the process of setting up
coworking spaces for NASA, so I'm getting more looped in to what
others are doing. While the government probably can't use similar
wording (unfortunately!), these common sense rules are a great
foundation for any space.

Wa wo we wa wo! Multiple coworking spaces for NASA, eh? Got any more details you can share? :-)

[Julie]

Tara, thanks for sharing the rules. We compiled rules from member
input and posted them in the space on a mobile whiteboard. Yours,
however, cut to the chase in a charming way.

Tony, I'm with you......NASA say what?

Yeah; NASA sounds really interesting. Wondering aloud.

Julie, if you're up to gathering when you are in NYC, email me as you get closer to the date.

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

Re: NASA, I wanted to wait until we had more details before I made any
larger announcement, but I'll go ahead and make a separate post to say
I'm working on it.

Sorry to take this thread off topic!
