Above all, remember we are a working community. We will look out for each other and lend a helping hand when we are able. We will be polite and accepting of each other. We are aware of and considerate of others and all personal property.
Our team has been fully vaccinated. We follow the CDC recommendations on masking. As health and wellness evolve, we may therefore request everyone to wear a mask when walking around, in public areas, or anytime while not actively eating or drinking.
When you leave, make sure that the space is in the same (or better) condition as when you walked in the door. Flush (and verify) your toilet use, wipe the counter after making a mess, place dirty dishes in the dishwasher, throw away used tissues, napkins, wrappers, etc. If you use non-disposable towels, place them in the dirty bin for machine wash. As a reminder, this is a shared workspace. We are not here to pick up after you. If you leave a mess, you may be charged.
Speak softly when not in shared/public areas. Voices carry, people are working, realize how loud you are as you walk, talk and laugh outside someone’s door. (Do unto others…)
Do not obstruct or block any hallways, doorways or walkways.
Don’t steal or borrow your neighbor’s or Spoke Coworking’s stuff without permission (ex: lamps, keyboard, mouse, pens, etc) Use your own, and if you need something, ask our team. We’re here to help!
Do not poach Spoke Coworking employees or solicit them or your neighbors.
No smoking or vaping in any area other than those posted and marked areas.
No burning candles or using space heaters, if you need a change in temperature please ask our team.
Nothing with sitting water, no fountains or plants with drainage plates.
Nothing with strong scents, no sprays or lotions that are particularly strong smelling.
No illegal substances or guns are permitted on the property.
If you break or lose or something or cause any losses, we ask that you make it right. To that end, if you paint, drill, or deface anything without written approval, you may be asked to revert things to the way they were.
Use a cover when microwaving your food, then wash the microwave cover.
Remember that events and small bites are all “at your own risk.”
Ask for help anytime it’s needed (ex: you don’t know how to work the coffee maker, copier, connect to the internet, etc)
Remember it’s our network, so think before you click. No bit torrent or porn. Spoke Coworking cannot be responsible for third-party data, websites, links or services. Make sure you know the source before clicking.
Practice kindness. We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. If you wonder “would that be offensive?” the answer is yes. Every Spoke Coworking customer should feel welcome and comfortable in our space regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or other personal attributes or beliefs. We’re all here to work, so please keep politics, crude jokes, etc out of our space.
Keep it legal. Again, we have zero tolerance for anyone using Spoke Coworking building or grounds to conduct or pursue any illegal activities or any activity that is generally regarded as offensive.
It should go without saying, but please wear clothes at all times. This is an office setting, not your home, so wandering around in pajamas, slippers, or just your undies is really not okay.
We want to honor everyone’s privacy. Do not take photos or videos in or around the building, especially of coworkers without prior request and agreement. Many photos are already online. Additionally, we’re happy to stage areas or provide photos upon request.
Shared Facilities include and are not limited to the appliances, as well as any shared seating areas, or shared rooms such as the Board Room, Conference Lounge, Flex Space, Recording Studio, Library, and Lounge (any areas that are not dedicated) and are to be used on a first-come, first-served basis. Do not ask others to leave or get out of any space.
Please take good care of any shared facilities or common areas and the furnishings and décor within
If you are utilizing a room that comes with any furnishings, including desk, chair or any computer peripherals, those items belong to and remain owned by Spoke Coworking
The Copier/Scanner/Printer is also first come, first served. This service is considered an add-on and will require a code for access. You will be billed for your use of this item on a monthly basis.
Do not host any event without advance notice to our team and remember fees may be incurred.
Do not canvass, solicit or peddle your wares; sure, you can talk about what you do, but going around trying sell, sell, sell may result in you being asked to leave.
Your personal property is your own responsibility. Spoke cannot and will not be liable for any loss, theft or damage of any of your belongings.
Practice confidentiality. If you see something someone is working on, forget it immediately. Many of us work on sensitive projects and there need be no risk to working in a shared office setting.
Alcohol is not permitted in this space but is permitted in adjacent space with prior written consent from the host.
