No matter what type of member you are, we've designed our spaces, perks, and programming with you in mind. Just a thoughtfully built environment and a community that meets you where you are. Here's a look at the programming we’ve created to support you!
Each campus hosts a rotating mix of member events every month, think holiday celebrations, barista pop-ups, grill-outs, and more. All designed to make the work week a little more fun and get you talking to other humans, which, let's be honest, is half the reason most of us wanted to work out of the house in the first place. You'll find everything on the member events calendar.
Every month, each campus hosts a free Member Breakfast where you can slow down, share a meal, and connect with the people building businesses right alongside you. No agenda, no pressure, just good food and good people. These can easily be found on the member events calendar.

Membership here means more than a desk. The Loading Dock is a B Corp certified business, which means we're held to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility, not just as a goal, but as a requirement.
That commitment shows up in the details. We compost, we recycle, and we think intentionally about every purchase we make, from the suppliers we choose to the way orders and deliveries are handled. We support local businesses whenever possible, because we believe in investing in the same community we're part of.
As a member, you also become part of a community that puts those values into action beyond the walls of our campuses. We organize intentional volunteer projects each quarter, giving members the opportunity to show up for the Triangle community alongside the people they work next to every day.
Because we believe the best businesses don't just do well, they do good.
Your Loading Dock membership doesn't stop at our three campuses. As a member, you have access to the LExC global coworking network, a curated collection of independent coworking spaces that meet a high standard for quality, community, and member experience.
5 free full-day coworking passes per location, per year
Access to 150+ spaces across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America
