Is this the Year of Women-Only Coworking Spaces?



The rise of coworking spaces is set to continue, with around 5.1 million workers forecast to utilize these spaces by 2022. This new global trend reflects the way modern businesses are evolving, ensuring that they tap into the biggest possible pool of talent by offering flexibility in terms of work hours, work environments, and even geography. As the industry grows, so coworking ventures seek new niches to give their clients more tailored services – and one niche is the rising trend that is the women-only coworking space. Here’s some insight into this trend from our NJ office design team.

Why Women-Only? 

It’s natural for men to feel a little left out of this trend, but it’s not about creating an exclusive space. It’s all about creating a space that is designed to effectively meet the needs of women in the workplace. This is an area where modern workplaces have notoriously struggled to achieve these inclusive goals, and coworking spaces are a unique environment in which to take on these challenges. It’s about creating safe spaces, unique business networking opportunities, and a supportive environment for women to build their success stories.

4 Noteworthy Examples of Women-Only Coworking Spaces 
The Wing: 

Since it opened in 2016, The Wing has raised more than $40 million from investors! It has grown into one of the most iconic co-working spaces to date. In addition to eye-catching office design, there’s a long list of amenities that are often lacking in traditional office spaces, such as a lactation room, showers, and a library. It also hosts great networking events featuring noteworthy speakers. There are several current and future locations, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington DC.

EvolveHer: 
A minimalist, highly functional coworking space, EvolveHer in Chicago features an online member network, childcare, book exchange programs, partner events and, of course, fully equipped multi-use office spaces.
The Coven: 
This coworking space was crowdfunded into existence in Minneapolis to meet the demand for safe, highly functional office spaces for women and non-binary members. In addition to all the features of a productivity-driven office, space also features a prayer room, concierge services, a regular program of events, and local organic snacks. Space is multi-use and shaped by curtains and glass partition wall systems to ensure privacy.
The Riveter: 
Inspired by Rosie the Riveter and founded by NASA Space Camp and NYU law graduate, Amy Nelson, this coworking space in Seattle, LA and Austin is focused on wellness as well as work. With daily yoga and barre classes as well as meditation sessions, it’s a place where anyone would thrive – and men are welcome too!

Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic – they’re
