The new WeWork location in College Park is slated to open Saturday, Dec. 1.
The Hyattsville Wire got a sneak preview of the 16,500-square-foot coworking space at 7761 Diamondback Dr., right around the corner from the Hotel at the University of Maryland.
The building, which will house 300 desks, private offices and conference rooms and common areas, is designed to be open and airy, with glass walls that reduce noise while letting exterior light in.
The two-floor building will feature the usual amenities, such as free high-end coffee, tea and fruit water, and it will be dog-friendly.
Meantime, the university and Capital One are putting the finishing touches on an ultramodern 7,500-square-foot tech incubator across the street in the garage of the hotel, which will open on Nov. 20.
The two new workspaces will be accessible to campus as well as an upcoming stop on the Purple Line, providing easy transportation to the College Park Metro station and the university’s business-focused Discovery District, a 150-acre research park.
