Co-Working Spaces in Nova Scotia

What does your workspace look like? Do you spend the day in coffee shops typing away on your assignments and spreadsheets, spending $7 per coffee and trying to drown out the noise? Maybe you’re a student working in a small library but you feel you can’t focus or get comfortable. If you haven’t heard of coworking spaces, they might be the solution you’re looking for to up your productivity and feel more comfortable when working. 

What is a Coworking Space?

For those who don’t know, coworking spaces are designed as shared office spaces in order to allow multiple businesses and individuals to work together in a collaborative atmosphere. Coworking spaces help you work harder because you’re discussing ideas with like-minded professionals, who in turn can become collaborators in these spaces. This leads to better work, the formation of business relationships, and the possibility of networking and finding new work opportunities. So, let’s cover some of the best coworking spaces currently available in Nova Scotia.

Flexwork

Seeking to build a coworking community in the Downtown Halifax area, Flexwork is all about independence, flexibility, and freedom in a workspace; with a number of peers and collaborators working out of the same space.  Beyond this sense of community, Flexwork offers memberships without rigid leases, for everything from shared spaces to private offices for you and your team; and amenities such as high-speed internet, coffee & tea, varied workspaces, and meeting rooms. They even offer mail services if you need to send packages or mail to memberships or other businesses.

Based on the motto, ‘work for yourself, not by yourself”, Many Hats Inc is a coworking space that offers 13 private officers, a large shared office with an ocean view, a members lounge, coworking space, and board rooms for brainstorming, testing, and discussion. Clearly, Many Hats value the importance of group activities; and they show this not just in the layout of their building; but in the other benefits, they offer to their members such as workshops, guided meditation, yoga courses, fitness events, and photography sessions. All this and more, Many Hats also currently offers a COVID-19 discount for new members.
