SCALE New Orleans is my favorite place to get work done and socialize with great people. Yes! You can do both! I recently returned to the great city of New Orleans and quickly realized that my very humble abode was not going to be very conducive to getting work done. So the search for a co-working space began. After almost 4 years of working remotely, I wasn't sure I would like returning to an office environment, but SCALE has been great. Perks of working from SCALE: * Members get 24/7 access and it's very secure! * Some of the desks have monitors! No more hunching at your laptop. * Telephone booths and conference rooms when you need a bit more privacy. * Well climatized - perfect for the summer heat or sweater weather. * The space is filled with plants; windows; local art; free espresso and coffee; and just the right amount of white noise. There's even a rooftop terrace just outside the kitchen. * The other members are friendly! They will talk to you if you want and respect you if you have jump on a call or get work done. * They will take deliveries for you. No more worrying about porch pirates. * Lyle, the owner, is often on-site and really cares about us. (awwwww) * There's even a shower! (But if you need a hairdryer, be sure to bring your own). Other things I've noticed - people are very friendly and welcoming. This is a place where you can come as you are. The diversity in the people make SCALE reflect some of their FLOR rug designs - they don't necessarily all coordinate, but somehow it works and looks good (see pic). Your network can really expand here as there are so many people with different work and life backgrounds. I did visit other coworking spaces, but the atmosphere was not as welcoming and felt a bit sterile. Couple that with too much hard concrete surfaces and I knew there would be an issue with noise. Come visit SCALE for a tour & check it out yourself! If you see me, introduce yourself and let me know you read my review! See you soon! read more

My oh my!!!! Where shall I begin. This place & Lyle are a godsend. As if being a NEW entrepreneur + FIRST time inventor, wasn't enough. Throw in manufacturing why dontcha? Well ok so there's the quandary... how + where do I make these things? Well here is Lyle + Scale Workspace to render me aid. This place is a hidden gem in "THE NOLA BABY", I mean just think of it... if you can put on your thinking cap, then you can come here, construct a mold & create it. That's how it happened for me. Picture it: -God gave me an idea -Lyle + his team brought it to manifestation. Just that simple. Once you know the direction (to creating a thing), you can head here. Lyle + his team are simply the best, better than all the rest... y'all know the Tina Tuner song, don't try to fool me now. At any rate, taking a tour is ESSENTIAL!!! As it adds sheer excitement to the endless possibilities of the things you can create here. There's an area to co-work and use computers. There's an area to make & receive private phone calls. There's an area to get your eat on, fashioned with all of the niftiest gadgets & appliances. There's a place to shower, should the need arise; say if you ride a bike in or if you even if you need a quick pick me up. There's an area to make, create & bring your vision to life. There's a rooftop area that is quaint & perfect to take a little siesta. There's an area to get your Shutterfly on; taking photos is essential to share any work of art. And the great thing about all these areas and many more, is that they come with MEMBERSHIP. Man oh man, talk about "membership having its privileges..." I love it. Oh and did I tell you have access whenever you want, I mean I don't know if overnight is an option, but if it is, you have the ability to gain access with the touch of your finger. Yep!!! No keys needed... your very own biometrics will give you access to the tools & skills lab you need to create. I've been advised of the parking beneath the bridge or you can park alongside the street and use the parking meters, FYI. I plan to utilize the amenities here to create and create and create some more. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MORE NEW PRODUCTS FROM ME, YOUR FRIENDLY YELP-ELITE INVENTOR!!! read more

Great co-working space full of people who are truly dedicated to investing in the future of New Orleans in various facets. Working in the space is an opportunity not only to get work done but also to collaborate with like-minded people and make connections with other people that might advance your cause. So far as the aesthetics, the place is clean, has a concierge and cleaning crew, and looks like a combination of retro and contemporarty. The building was bought and renovated by Phyllis Taylor. The space offers amenities like coffee, a shower, and a public kitchen space. read more

So excited to have finally had the chance to work out of scale workspace! I've been eyeing this spot for some time to get a feel of them and I had the chance to take advantage of their "Free Co-Working Friday" series which they post on their social media. They not only have complimentary wifi (super strong) but they have a communal kitchen for you to utilize as well. Scale is very open and tons of natural lighting! I love that it's adjacent to the WWII museum and just gives that downtown vibe. Keep in mind this isn't a place where you can simply walk up since it is within a security building. The elevator only works with fingerprint scans so you have to be escorted up unless you're a paid member then you don't have to worry about that since you have access. I do believe if you're a paying member you have access 24/7. After receiving a tour I was impressed to find that they also have lounge areas, conference rooms available for booking, ability to rent out a dedicated office, 3D printing services, artist room, and so many more amenities. THEY HAVE A SHOWER FOR GOODNESS SAKE. This is a great option for those of us who work remote or if you're an entrepreneur starting up and need a space like this. There's quite a few events they host so I recommend checking out their website. Pricing is very reasonable when you break down the cost per day. read more

I was in town for a few days, remotely working, and unfortunately the Hilton hotel I was staying at had terrible Wi-Fi. I decided to check out Scale New Orleans and could not have been more thrilled with the amenities and the extremely high-speed Wi-Fi. Lyle was fantastic in giving me a tour and helping out with setup and when I needed accessories. I should also mention it's very affordable for the quality. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

I've learned a lot in this environment. Lyle and cheria are amazing folks with amazing vision, direction and grit. They do what they say and say what they do, which I find is hard to come by in this day and age. I can't say enough good things. They genuinely care about you and your business and how they fit into the equation about making it work for you. They are constantly evolving and making processes and the space a better place every day. They are flexible, reasonable and most of all just good hearted people who is really making a difference in this city. read more

Beautiful coworking space / makerspace. Was able to go as part of one of their promotional events and was really blown away by the clean, bright, open space and collaborative environment. Definitely geared towards fabricators and people who want to cowork while also being close to workshop tools (think: laser cutters, 3D printers) but also really wonderful if you just need a space to work around others. Go check it out! read more
