What is Co-Working?

Cultivating Collaboration

Co-working is more than just shared office space; it's a collaborative workspace concept that brings together professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, fostering innovation. Globally, over 3.1 million startups, freelancers, remote workers, and small businesses have become members of co-working spaces.

Located at 221 Chillicothe Street in Downtown Portsmouth, the Hub anchors the new Arts, Cultural, and Innovation District and is actively creating a bridge between SSU and the community.

Community is at the heart of co-working. Community-building activities, networking events, and workshops are commonplace. Over 69% of members report increased productivity and another 82% say it expands their professional networks.

Co-working spaces excel in providing added amenities such as kitchenette access, printing facilities, a mailing address, event space and conference room rentals, as well as fitness facilities and relaxation areas. These features contribute to a comprehensive co-working experience that caters to the diverse needs of all members. Additionally, co-working gives members the chance to create their own office hours without breaking the bank and investing in expensive office space.

As the first co-working space in Southern Ohio, the SSU Kricker Innovation Hub is creating not just a workspace - but a dynamic and collaborative environment where professionals will be able to collaborate, ideate, and grow their businesses locally. This approach positions the Kricker Innovation Hub as a leader in innovation throughout the region, reshaping the future of work in our area and business development in Portsmouth.

Welcome to the future of co-working at the SSU Kricker Innovation Hub—where work meets collaboration, and innovation knows no bounds.
