People come here to make a difference out there.
From the front door to the back, every square foot has a story. From tables designed through training programs to coffee that shares stories of the world, from mural inspirational quotes displayed on walls that were spoken at our gatherings to screens looping problems being solved by people throughout our community. If and when you walk into this place, it must inspire you to go back to where you call home and make it better. This place is an entrepreneurial training center where ideas are shaped, where stories are experienced, where mentoring transpires and where people find community. People come here to make a difference out there. Our goal is for this space to inspire more good into the world. When people engage Plywood Place, it will cause others to dream in unimaginable new ways, not out of shame but out of hope and responsibility. We saw the need for a space that made people believe that better is possible, so we created Plywood Place.
Every space tells a story.
Individual spaces.
There is always a need to get stuff done. We have spaces that are quiet and evoke action, spaces that promote the importance of work. There is a way for people to come for a day or stay for the year. Both are welcomed. The story and emotions of individual spaces were designed to be welcoming calming and speak belief in others.
In-residence spaces.
We saw a need to create different programs to enhance the environment for members of Plywood Place.
Entrepreneurs in Residence - a way for entrepreneurs to trade time for space. They are hosts and the front door for the space - make coffee, manage conference rooms and be a guide shaping the space. Their story is one that is beginning. Apply to become an EIR here.
Advisors in Residence - We asked our growing advisor program for a new level of commitment...office hours. They are available to council the start-ups in the space through their unique skills. This at times takes the shape of a small workshop, but more often looks like individual meetings.
Training + event spaces.
Our entire environment was created to empower others to go and do. We created spaces for training, teaching, presentations and events. Every community space has the ability to be transformative to host events from 15 people to 200 people. It was designed in such a way that it can be larger or smaller, host presentations or wine and cheese conversations. The event space offers great sound elements, great lighting and video capability with good viewpoints from every seat. Training spaces were built in such a way that every training can be broadcast to the world and shared often...because it should be. The story of our event spaces is platforms to share stories, train developing stories and share on the social streams of others...our goal is that every experience in this space would demand to be shared through social streams...its that good.
Community spaces.
Many people come to places like this to work alongside others. Community spaces were designed around standing conversation spaces, large work tables or living room environments. We have options for 2 person meetings all the way to 10 person board rooms. Think booths, conference rooms, facing couches, community tables, and a coffee bar. The story of these spaces is seen on large post-it notes, dry-erase scratches on glass walls, sheets of paper rolled up under an armpit as they leave, shared on screens and high fived at the end of the day.
Team spaces.
We are able to serve teams through private offices that house 1-6 people. We have found that organizations at team levels benefit from the external community of Plywood and contribute to the emerging community seeking council. Private Offices have the ability to be customized to the brand, colors and feel of the team. Claiming office space also gives teams event space to be used for their promotion and gatherings. Private offices are part of the ethos and are integrated into the community, but give the ability to be closed and secure during events or times when they need privacy. The story of Team space is all about the problems THE TEAM is solving.
Gallery spaces + functional spaces.
Not only does Plywood share stories, we have spaces that can help make stories. We have warehouse space, podcast space, video shoot space, photography space, printing space and cafe space. The story of these spaces give you the ability to take a photo, design the concept, print it, pack it, store it, frame it, put it on our gallery wall and send it to the person that wanted to purchase it. The Story of this space is seen on our walls and featured in our cafe.
