2020 has brought on so many challenges and changes to our daily routines, it’s hard to remember what it was like prior to March. For most of us, the idea of working remotely or “from home” always seemed like a better option, or so we thought, right?
Now with virtual schooling, hybrid schooling, glitches in the matrix with zoom, or teams or any other platform being used, working from home, well, doesn’t work.
Meet the R5 Co-lab and the creative minds behind it, Michael And Greg. In the beginning (and pre-pandemic), they worked out of Lansdale’s Backyard Beans. The two met by happenstance and had an instant synergy to create a sleek and modern workspace right in Lansdale.
Located at 5 North Cannon Avenue, the R5 Co-Lab was created to serve a need in the area for a shared workspace. They are more than just a hip place to work, however: their goal is to build a community of diverse entrepreneurs, aspirational business makers, and professional services thinkers, all while adhering to COVID-19 protocols and restrictions.
With different levels like The Hot Seat, dedicated desk, private offices, day passes and family plans, there are a variety of different options. Included with these options are access to features like private video conference booths, equipped with the proper lighting, sound proofing and outlets, a conference room that can (pre-pandemic) hold up to six people and a coffee bar with coffee from — you guessed it — Backyard Beans. There are also three offices, however all currently rented at this time.
