“Work” is changing. 

Work the verb – the job we do in return for a paycheck. 

And work the noun – the place we go to do that work. 

It’s all changing. 

“When we tell our grandkids we commuted more than a few minutes to an office and back every single day, they’re going to look at us like we’re absolutely crazy; like we took a horse-and-buggy to work,” said Jerad Stack, a serial entrepreneur and proprietor of the Durlacher coworking space in Laramie.  

We live in an environment where we are constantly connected at the touch of a button, and yet more and more isolated. That environment creates less need for traditional office spaces and the high overhead cost that comes with them, and yet an even greater need for opportunities to collaborate and network with others.
