Chapel Hill Innovation District News: Carolina Coworking and the Daily Tar Heel
Join 97.9 The Hill’s Ron Stutts for a conversation about coworking spaces and their effectiveness with Gregg Gerdau, founder and community director of Carolina Coworking, and Daily Tar Heel General Manager Erica Perel.
The space at Carolina Coworking provides flexible workspaces, along with private offices rented on month-to-month subscriptions and even meeting spaces for special events and routine check-ins alike. This summer, while the downtown office of the Daily Tar Heel was undergoing renovations, Perel brought the editorial and sales staff of UNC’s student newspaper to the offices at Carolina Coworking for training sessions and retreats in preparation for the year ahead for the DTH as they prepared for publishing print and digital editions of the paper.

Chapel Hill Innovation District News: The Advantages of Month-to-Month Offices and Workspaces
Gregg Gerdau, founder and Community Director of Carolina Coworking, visited with Aaron Keck and introduced David Hait, founder and CEO of OptionMetrics in New York City. Hait is expanding OptionMetric’s development staff with software engineers in Chapel Hill by utilizing Carolina Coworking instead of leasing office space for his expansion.
“It’s not like I’m moving anybody down from New York,” Hait said. “We are hiring people and having them work right here. So right now we have two employees. It’s very difficult to come down and say, ‘Okay, I need office space for two people or for four people and there’s a lot obviously involved in getting new office space put together. This was just a very easy solution. We can put our people here, they can start from day one, they can get ready and work, they have internet, they have nice desks, a nice facility, free coffee, perfectly located and there’s not a 10-year commitment like I would have on a lease.”
Gerdau further explained that Carolina Coworking offers many options, from inexpensive day passes, to conference center – meeting space, furnished private offices and coworking desks. All are available on very flexible terms without long term commitments.
