House Rules
Community Norms
Welcome! We are thrilled that you have joined our workplace community!
We're more than a workspace—we're a community built on mutual respect and a shared purpose. Here, we look out for one another while honoring the space that brings us together. As a member of The Functional Loft, you're not just renting a desk; you're joining a collective committed to respect, accountability, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
Your fellow members don't just expect this standard—they embody it. Together, we take pride in what we've built and ownership of what we maintain. Here’s how:
1. One of the biggest benefits of The Functional Loft membership is access to your fellow
members. We encourage The Functional Loft members to make connections,
collaborate, share ideas, provide advice, and make cool things happen.
However, members may NOT spend their days directly soliciting other
members. It is annoying and may result in cancellation of your membership.
2. The Functional Loft is first and foremost, a place to work. While we want our
community to be 1.) open, fun, and collaborative we also want it to be 2.)
Professional. Members are responsible for properly balancing the two.
3. Every person using The Functional Loft MUST be a paid member. Exceptions: non-
members are welcome for up to 4 hours if they are meeting The Functional Loft
members for business related meetings (and are not using the conference
room) or if the non-members have purchased a Day Pass. Members need to
meet with their guests at one of the collaborative meeting areas or in a
conference room. Guests may sit at the coworking table if space is not being used or unless a
Day Pass has been purchased. Members are accountable for the conduct of their
guests. All guests must be registered with an The Functional Loft employee at the
front desk.
4. Key Codes. Please do not share the door codes with anyone else for any
reason. It is our job to provide a safe and secure community for you to work
in. We expect members to be mindful of security at all times. Sharing security/door codes with non-members may result in immediate termination of your membership.
5. Dedicated Desks/Unlimited Monthly Coworking Memberships are NOT
transferable to other members in your organization. Only the registered
member with The Functional Loft has access to their desk.
6. We expect members to keep the kitchen area clean. Please do your dishes by
either putting them in the dishwasher or placing them and into the dish bin. Please do your
guests’ dishes. The friendly staff at The Functional Loft (and your fellow members) will get
really, really grumpy if you leave your dirty dishes lying around.
7. It is your responsibility to keep your workspace tidy. If you receive packages
at The Functional Loft please break down your boxes and take them to the dumpster.
If your trash is overflowing empty your garbage can and take it to the
dumpster at night when you leave. The Functional Loft dumpsters are located behind
the wood fence kiddy corner to the entrance.

please see a staff member. This includes chairs and monitors.
9. Please label and date the food you put in the refrigerator. We encourage you
to bring your lunch and use the Fridge. Please be considerate of your fellow
members. It is a community fridge and their needs to be room for everyone’s
lunches. You can’t stock the fridge for the month. (i.e.: no cases of soda,
Gallons of OJ etc.) The Functional Loft Staff reserves the right to throw anything in
the refrigerator away, including breakthrough science experiments!
Refrigerator clean out happens monthly. If it is not labeled “save” it
most likely will be tossed.
10. Coffee makes everyone happier At The Functional Loft we provide coffee from various
brands including our favorites Trader Joe’s and Rev Coffee. If you drink the last cup of coffee,
please let an The Functional Loft Team Member know. The best way to strike a nerve with your
fellow caffeine addicted member is to leave no coffee in the carafe. Please don’t be that
guy/gal.
11. Access to conference rooms is one of the greatest perks of an The Functional Loft
membership. Here’s what you need to know in regards to conference room main; If you want
to use the conference room for a meeting or presentation, you must reserve it.

month.

month.
e.You may not re-sell or donate your conference room time to non-
members or outside groups.
f. It is your responsibility to clean up the conference room after you

12. The printer is available for use. We ask that you use the nearest copying center for multiple
large print orders due to limited hardware capabilities and supplies of the copier here at The
Functional Loft.
13. Common areas are shared workspaces. Here is how we can all happily and
productively share these spaces together:
a. Please make phone calls at your desk, atrium or at the seats outside. Speaker phones are
never allowed at The Functional Loft, except when in a conference room or your private office.
b. Please occupy only one spot at a time in the common area. Taking
up multiple spots limit the space available to your fellow
members.
c. “The One Hour Rule”: Feel free to leave your stuff at your space
and other common areas. However, if you will be gone longer than
an hour, please pack up your stuff so your spot is available for
another member.
14. The Functional Loft is a 9am to 8pm facility for members. The Functional Loft team members are
staffed between 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Mon – Fri. You don’t have to go home but you can’t live
here! Please be mindful of security. If you have a guest during non-staffed
hours your guest will need to call you directly to gain access to the building.
15. We offer flexible Month to Month membership agreements. However, if you
plan to terminate your The Functional Loft membership we do require that you give
30 days notice (in writing) on the 15th or 30th of the month.
