Tucson Code Works

Tucson Code Works is a tiny (170 square foot) semi-private tech-focused coworking space in downtown Tucson, Arizona. The main goal of TCW is to provide a nice place to work for technologists who otherwise work in isolation from their colleagues.

Can I join?

Maybe! It’s subject to availability of space in our small office, and how compatible the space is with your work habits.

If you’re visiting Tucson and want to join as a short-term guest, hit us up, we might be able to accommodate.

If you live here and want to join as a part-time or full-time member, we might invite you to join as a guest for a few days. If this trial period goes well, we’ll offer you an ongoing membership.

In either case, send a message to info at-sign tucsoncode dot works . Give us a few sentences about yourself, perhaps a link to your online presence (code, blog, etc), and what you want from a shared workspace.

If you just want to stop by and meet us, that’s cool too.

What does it cost?

Still working this out, but likely less than you’ll find at most commercial co-working spots. The goal is a sliding scale so that cost is not a barrier if you are under-employed or working on open-source software for the greater good.

What are the other local coworking options?

La Suprema near the convention center. The L Offices has two locations (though none near downtown). IWG has several locations under various names. A few other places on the edges of the city that I know very little about. :)

Common, Connect, Brings, and CoLab are all defunct.

For a friendly but still working-oriented weekly gathering, visit Code Commons on Wednesday afternoons at UA Main Library.

For a more sociable but still tech-focused gathering, join ResBaz Arizona’s excellent weekly events: Coffee and Code, and Hacky Hour.

Where is it?

64 E. Broadway Blvd, on the second floor.

How do I visit?

The exterior door is normally locked, so one of us needs to come downstairs and let you in.

The most reliable way is to arrange it in advance via a message to info at-sign tucsoncode dot works .

To visit on short notice, try calling the following phone number: siete uno seis - six zero three - V VIII IX 0. If you don’t get an answer, call twice in a row to puncture do-not-disturb.

Who is in charge?

TCW is organized by me, Chris Martin. Among other things, I also organize Code Commons.
