Building A Community With Purpose
Radius provides a space with ridiculously fast internet, coffee fit for royalty, and an impressive view from Erie’s tallest building. We have all the niceties: free printing, convenient parking, and a café that seems to spontaneously generate baked goods. But those are only the things we share a need for, they aren’t US.
We are a community of freelancers, remote workers, and small businesses who come together to grow and enjoy our work.
Erie’s Coworking Space
Erie is realizing its potential. This is a city where a disproportionate number of people work for more than profit, they work toward a purpose. In order to provide a home for our best and brightest, we set up shop in the heart of Erie’s downtown.
We chose to be downtown because the heart of the city needs to be great, and a city is made great by citizens turning out to contribute; we want to share that responsibility. From great restaurants and pubs to the business resource providers within walking distance of our doors, we knew we could stimulate new economic growth while strengthening Erie’s civic life if we located our space where the action is.
Lo and behold, we did.
Building Something Great
Our mission is to foster an engaging culture, support organic business growth, and create an environment that ensures the success for our members in both their businesses and their lives.
It’s about connecting people with opportunity.
The Core Values of Coworking
Radius is where you can share your good ideas and professional connections, but it’s also a place where members actively contribute to the community through a variety of activities. We organize board game nights, volunteer with non-profits, and get swept up in Erie’s arts and cultural scene. To ensure that our shared space continues to flourish, radius maintains three core values:
Give Before You Get
Coworking is not about a space, it’s about the people. We believe that progress is more easily made when people come together. We encourage one another to celebrate each other’s successes, support each other when in need, and become invested in bettering each other’s lives. The good you do returns to you.
Be Open Minded
Self-fulfillment is fueled by curiosity. We believe you can learn something from everyone you meet and that thinking differently should spark inspiration, not animosity. Ultimately, kindness, compassion, and communication is what fosters professional and personal growth.
Love What You Do
Radius is packed with creatives, entrepreneurs, and digital professionals who love what they do. Every project that’s completed in radius has the potential to promote positive change in our city and beyond. We know success comes in different shapes and sizes, that’s why we celebrate achievement in all its forms.
Tour the Space
Do you feel like connecting with a hard-working, forward thinking, diverse group of professionals while sipping on a hot cup of locally-roasted, freshly-ground coffee? It just so happens we know a place. Reach out to radius to tour our 8,000 square foot work space, learn about coworking, and see if we’re a good fit for your goals.
Meet Awesome People
We aren’t trying to sell as many memberships as possible. Our goal is to build a community of kind, compassionate, and dedicated individuals who enjoy what they do. During your tour you’ll meet our owners, community organizers, and a few other members. This is where you’ll come to know some of Erie’s most passionate and talented people.
Grow Your Business
Connecting with other savvy freelancers, remote workers, and entrepreneurs is important to success, both personally and professionally. Moreover, we advocate for our members. We’ll help you promote your business, bring in new leads, and engage with your social media marketing by liking, retweeting, and sharing your high-quality content.
Look, we know we have big ideas.
But without challenging the conventions of our city, progress can’t be made. We’re here to offer an infrastructure that supports the civically minded professionals in our city, to give a home to lonely workers, and to attract and retain those talented people in our city by giving them a bigger role in it.
On any given day, we see it: there is enough creative energy in this place to power a city. So, come join us and we’ll build something great together.
