While working from home has its perks (pajamas and pets come to mind), coworking spaces provide all the benefits of a high-end office without any of the responsibilities of running your own office. No need to brew your own coffee, change lightbulbs, troubleshoot technology issues, refill the printer, or restock the bathrooms.
In addition to the abundance of standard amenities, many workspaces go above and beyond to provide people with productivity-boosting, health-conscious, or luxury perks that unless you’re living that fancy life you won’t get at home.
Health & Hydration
You’ve likely heard that ‘sitting is the new smoking’ in regards to the negative health effects caused by sitting for long periods of time.
While many coworking spaces offer standing desks, BUILDING.CO takes it one healthy step further with their treadmill desk amenity. Members can walk at a slow pace while getting their work done and get their daily steps completed and with minimal noise.
Another health-focused amenity at BUILDING.CO is their Vero Water system which provides three kinds of purified water: sparkling, ambient, and chilled so even the pickiest of water drinkers can stay hydrated.
You can enjoy these amenities when on-site for a day of coworking, or by reserving their beautiful Board Room.
Fully Automated Cafe
Expansive Workspace offers tech-enabled, cafe quality coffee and tea, powered by their user-friendly Eversys Machines. You’ll find an Eversys in every Expansive Lounge.
Eversys is a coffee-lover’s dream. It lets you customize your coffee selection so it perfectly fits your preferences.

Distraction-Free Zones
We all need some 'alone time' to rest and reset throughout the day. That's why the The Collaboration Centre in Ottawa created a dedicated 'Quiet Room' for members and guests. Located on the 10th floor, the Quiet Room offers a warm, peaceful environment with spa-like seating. It's a wonderful retreat from the demands and pressures of the workday.
The Quiet Room provides a soothing meditative space evoking feelings of peace and tranquility, where members can go to meditate, pray, self-reflect, or simply decompress. You can even rent it by the hour or day and for private group sessions.
