Mission
Co-working space around the United States has increased by 700% since 2011. Its continued increase and development indicate the need for more co-working spaces tailored to meet the ultimate goal of increasing user satisfaction and productivity.
Chi-Cincinnati takes co-working to the next level with a focus on communication and collaboration extending beyond traditional open-plan working into defined activity spaces. Beyond open benching and private suites, knowledge transfer and productivity is met through community, refuge, enclave, team meeting, and assembly spaces.
