Taking a ‘Workcation’ in Durham Region 

Working from home has definite benefits. But, if you’re tired of your basement office, craving a vacation, and still stuck at home, chances are you could use a change of scenery.

According to numerous studies since the pandemic started, both working from home and working in an office have numerous benefits, and in general people seem to like a mix of both. But, with some offices not opening back up right away—if ever—you might be looking for your own “new normal”. What better way to ease back into office life than trying out some co-working spaces this summer? Think of it of like a working vacation! In this post we’re rounding up some options for shared offices spaces in Durham Region, alongside recommended places to grab lunch near these collaborative locations. 

With hot desks, affordable meeting rooms, and flexible offices, these cool and vibrant temporary working spaces can spice up your workday, allow you to test out talking to people, and provide an excuse to get out your dust-covered office threads. 

With amenities like fancy coffee bars, cool working nooks and state-of-the-art tech, co-working spaces are often close to amazing restaurants and cafes so you can have lunch on a nearby patio.

The Work Hub  

Located just off the 401 in Ajax, The Work Hub has hot desks in their co-working lounge that are open for use via membership or drop-in day passes. With free parking and premium coffee, tea and water, you can take a break and dare we say it, a real lunch. Walk over to Maestro’s Gourmet Pizza and Gelato and enjoy your lunch overlooking the reflection pond at Pat Bayly Square.

With many options to choose from, you can give your next big presentation from one of their four boardrooms instead of your bedroom. For lunch, walk over to the Great Canadian Meat Company for the best sandwich of your life.
