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.

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.

e.You may not re-sell or donate your conference room time to non-

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
