zWORKS, a new membership-based nonprofit entrepreneurial and co-working center, saw between 30 and 40 workers come through its doors during its soft opening April 30 and has seen those numbers hold steady since then.
“We hope that people use it as they see fit, instead of having just one purpose,” said Dan Moyers, co-founder, chairman and executive director of zWORKS. “It’s kind of a complement to a home office or a main office. Or for starting new businesses, it’s a place for them to land initially.”
The memberships are full, for now. However, Moyers said that once they get a feel for the calendar and the times that the members are working in the center they will accept more.
Memberships cost $600 dollars a year and include collaborative and private working space, snacks, local craft beer taps and 24/7 fingerprint access into the building.
One of the founding members of zWORKS, RJE Business Interiors, went beyond purchasing a membership to help the center open. All of the furniture other than the tabletops is provided by RJE through an exclusive partnership.
A goal of RJE is to help advance the growing trend in co-working.
“RJE wishes to be on the front end of this leading edge thinking and working,” stated Stacey Blanton, RJE business interiors chief of staff.
