Connectivity

High speed internet is an amenity that you should expect out of a co-working space. The very nature of working remotely is that you do almost everything online. You should expect your co-working space to have reliable high-speed internet that you can connect to without problems.

Easy access

One of the benefits of working remotely is that you can keep a non-traditional schedule. This may mean that you work later into the evenings or on days that are not part of the traditional work week. You need look for a co-working space that provides you with easy access any time you want to work. You should expect to have 24 hour access to your co-working space through a key, access code, or some other type of around the clock access.

Room to work

The purpose of finding a co-working space is to get your work done. Any space you consider should have desks or tables available that allow you to comfortably and efficiently get to work and stay focused. In addition, you should look for a place that allows you to work near others without being in each other’s way. It can be a major benefit to work in a shared space but it is important that you have the room you need so you do not get distracted by others or become a distraction.

Some of the comforts of home

Many people choose co-working space over working from home in order to get away from the distractions that are inherent when you work from the house. But, that does not mean they want to leave all the comforts of home behind. As you search for a co-working space you should expect to find some of the comforts of home such as access to coffee, a kitchen, and a comfortable area where you can take breaks. These things can help boost your productivity instead of stifling it.  

Now that you know what types of amenities to expect you can confidently start your search for a co-working space. A co-working space that meets all of the expectations listed above will likely be a space where you can be productive and comfortable as you work remotely.
