Society of Work moves into space that was heart of Chattanooga’s Lamp Post Group

Distilling whiskey, making movies – even helping establish a colony on the moon – were goals of some of the startups that operated from the second floor of the Loveman’s Building, which for eight years was the heart of the Lamp Post Group, a Chattanooga “incubator” of startup businesses.

This week, all was quiet and empty inside the hip-looking space known as “Suite 200” – which features glass-walled offices, IKEA furniture and rows of whiteboards.

Lamp Post Group now focuses on logistics startup businesses through a venture called Dynamo and has moved into smaller quarters inside the historic department store building.

Society of Work, Chattanooga’s first co-working space, will move into Suite 200 and reopen it Jan. 1.
