Radical hospitality: The Loading Dock gives remote Wake Forest a headquarters

The downtown coworking campus where work-from-home goes to get done.

In this storyThe network and the offeringRadical hospitality

Wake Forest fills up every weekday with people who commute to a spare bedroom. The Loading Dock built the alternative.

The network and the offering

The downtown location is part of a Raleigh-based network that includes the Beryl and Dock 1053, and it covers the full range of how modern work actually happens: open coworking, cowarehousing for businesses with inventory, private office suites, meeting and training rooms, team packages, day passes for the commitment-shy, and even gift cards for the remote worker in your life.

Radical hospitality

The operating philosophy has a name — radical hospitality — which The Loading Dock defines as preparing a space for all who walk through the door so teams can work, meet, and grow. The public and member events calendar keeps it from being just desks; it functions as the town's professional commons, where the freelancers, startups, and remote teams that increasingly power Wake Forest actually cross paths.

Remote work made where-you-live matter more than where-you-office. The Loading Dock is Wake Forest's answer to the second half of that equation. Memberships, day passes, and event space details are on their directory listing.
