Workbar

Workbar is a Boston-area coworking network, and its Cambridge presence connects entrepreneurs, startups and established professionals to a membership community of more than 1,500 people. Members choose from coworking memberships, private offices and enterprise suites, and can work from any location in the network. The company has two Cambridge sites, in Central Square and Harvard Square, along with locations elsewhere in the city and suburbs.

Each Workbar space is split into four activity-based neighborhoods: quiet areas for focused work, the Commons for team collaboration, the Switchboard for phone calls and a Café zone with background activity. The design encourages people to move between areas during the day instead of sitting in one chair. Height-adjustable standing desks, grab-and-go monitors, sound masking in private rooms and lighting that reduces eye strain are standard throughout.
