Office Spaces
1-2 Person Offices
Our private office suites for 1–2 people provide a quiet, professional space designed for focus and flexibility. Each office includes two desks that can easily convert to standing desks, along with two comfortable chairs, making it a great fit for individuals or small teams who want a dedicated workspace with room to grow.
Team Office Spaces
Our larger private office suites are ideal for small teams of 3–13, offering a dedicated space to collaborate, meet, and work comfortably together. With flexible layouts, included furnishings, and access to shared amenities and conference rooms, these offices provide the professionalism of a traditional workspace with the convenience and community of coworking.
Team Packages
Our Team Packages are the most flexible solution for remote and hybrid teams who need a professional place to connect without committing to a traditional office setup. Teams can mix and match coworking passes, conference room access, and training room time to create a membership that fits how they actually work — whether that includes a private office or not. It’s a customizable approach that gives your team a reliable home base for collaboration, meetings, and off-sites, while allowing you to scale up or adjust as your needs evolve.

Wake Forest Office Space Member Reviews
Kittl
Working at the Loading Dock has allowed me and the team to meet a lot of other creative people and share ideas, resources, and even tools we've needed at various times. Having a dedicated office space studio to record our videos (outside of our homes) has been vital, since there is no set up and tear down needed (everything stays ready to go, ready to turn on and start recording in seconds). Our team also loves the space, the perks, the Waffle Wednesdays, and many other aspects of Loading Dock amenities like meeting rooms and phone booths. - Drew Wilson
The Rescued Letters
Before moving to The Loading Dock, my team worked remotely and met weekly at a local coffee shop for meetings. We also struggled with storage space for our product inventory and business supplies, which began to overflow into our homes. Having dedicated office hours has helped us batch our work and use our time more efficiently. It’s also been a gift to have a “home base” where we can meet, create, and host others. - Heather & Hannah

Having a dedicated office space is huge for our large team. We do 2-3 trainings a week so being able to reserve the classrooms is huge. The Loading Dock is the perfect mix of flexibility, community, and collaboration. It’s more than a workspace—it’s a network that helps businesses grow. - Jacob Vollmer
