Mojo Coworking officially opens Friday, April 1 – with nearly all the long-term private desks and the Mojo office already under contract.
“The response has been overwhelming,” says Mojo Coworking co-founder, Craig McAnsh. “Our collaborative open floor plan is very appealing and everyone who visits seems immediately drawn to the energy of our downtown location.”
The office decor is modern, highly functional and fun. Nine desks line the wall of bright windows facing Pritchard Park while leather sofas and a large flat panel television in the lounge area adds to the comfort and energy of the space. A 13 foot marble and oak Mojo Bar was recently installed along one of the walls to accommodate drop-in and daily members. And there is a large grouping of desks that can seat six flex members who are looking for a little more space to spread out.
In addition to anchor partner, Native Marketing, the Mojo Members who have already signed up for space include a social media/marketing agency, an internet entrepreneur, a bookkeeping/IT and web design business, a life & project design consultant, and a marketing/PR agency expanding to Asheville from Boulder, CO.
HATCH Experience // Asheville will be headquartered at Mojo Coworking beginning this week in anticipation of the April 14 – 17 event, and will possibly become a permanent non-profit member. Through one of the other coworkers, TEDx Next Generation is also considering membership.
In addition to an open coworking office environment, Mojo Coworking will also offer conference room rental for meetings, classes, video conferencing and focus group research. Asheville based TaskMania has already contracted the Mojo Conference Room for computer/software training classes over the next six months beginning April 18th.
