Building Guidelines

• 2x per week in office is the expectation (3x for Associates)

  • We're operating on the honor system right now but have noticed some people falling off and want to see everyone recommit to consistent attendance

• 2x per week means two full days (which is 8 hours)

  • starting early and leaving early within reason is fine - but coming in at lunch for 3 hours and jetting mid-afternoon defeats the purpose

• Exceptions to this policy requires approval from Kate or Anne

Let’s do our best to keep our space as clean and enjoyable as possible! Treat it like you would your own home, or as if you are a guest in someone else’s home. Some expectations of sharing this space include: 

• Washing your dishes 

  • No one likes seeing or touching someone else’s old dishes / food, ew.

• Throw away your trash

  • Let’s be classy, not trashy.

• Leave all desks clear when you leave

  • Unfortunately this is not your home office, it’s our community so no desk is titled to anyone.

• Do not take home any of the equipment

  • Chargers, mice, keyboards etc, these belong to everyone so should not be catching a ride home with you. 

  • There is a charging station in the back corner to plug everything in to charge before you head out. 

• Take ownership

  • If there is a spill or quick fix that you see, please help us out and take on that task rather than waiting for someone else to deal with it. 

  • If you are the last to leave, please run the dishwasher!

Meeting rooms are available for internal meetings, client calls, and hybrid collaboration. 

• How to Book: 

  • There are two conference rooms that can be reserved through Google Calendar.

Social Events + Conduct

• Alcoholic beverages may be available at these events for employees of legal drinking age. Employees who choose to drink alcohol must do so in a responsible and professional manner.
