The First Tennessee Bank building is located between Market and Broad Streets in downtown Chattanooga.A new collaborative workspace is opening in downtown Chattanooga this week that aims to put attorneys at the same table as artists and marketers at the same table as accountants.
Society of Work lands somewhere between a traditional office and a coffee shop — it’s a shared space where customers will pay to work. Founder Kelly Fitzgerald is renovating the 13th floor of the First Tennessee building and hopes to appeal to a cross section of professionals.
The room will feature long tables and a wide-open floor plan to encourage collaboration between trades.
“We’ll be a connector,” she said. “So you can look at the person next to you and say, ‘What did you do?'”
Customers will pay a monthly membership fee — somewhere between $75 and $450 — for access to Society of Work, which includes a conference room, three private offices and all the normal trappings of a traditional workspace: coffee maker, storage cabinets, refrigerator, couch, mailing address.
