Nice explanation of some of the details that go into planning coworking spaces. Most of the coworking spaces I know of in San Francisco also have private conference rooms that can be reserved (for a fee.) I like your thought about the stand-up desks.
I'm doing this as we speak! I have a virtual office in one area of my state where I rent a co-working space at an extremely affordable price. In the other area I service, I own a building that I'm in the process of offering co-working space to other industry professionals. Love the concept and think this is the way of the future for entrepreneurs!
Thank you for this interesting and helpful post, I have a client who will appreciate it.
