BUILD (coworking space)

Technology has changed the way we work. There is no longer a need to be in an office everyday. No need to have a permanent phoneline. No need for manual filing. While the way we work has changed, the spaces in which we work have not evolved at the same speed or capacity. Companies still spend thousands, or millions of dollars leasing spaces that may only be half full. Coworking spaces provide not only a desk, but a supportive community, without the hefty financial commitment of leasing an office space12. While the financial gain can be quantified, the gain of knowledge, skills and supportive network are unqualifiable.


BUILD is a coworking space that explores how design creates a community while supporting individual goals. It is located in the old Reynolds Tobacco factory, which was the source of economic growth in the 1900s; the site will be revitalized to be the source of economic growth in Richmond for the 21th century.
