Chandler entrepreneurs and innovators are invited to tour the coworking space and learn about its benefits, including:

- Eight dedicated desks with open seating
- Managed by staff at ASU’s J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute
- Ability to request 24-hour access

A call for founders will be launched in the coming weeks.
“We are excited to join ASU in celebrating the opening of this new coworking space here in downtown Chandler,” said Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke. “Our goal in partnership with ASU is to make the ASU Chandler Innovation Center a one-stop shop for entrepreneurs looking to start or grow a business. The pieces are now falling into place with the coworking space, prototyping space and the upcoming launch of the Chandler Endeavor Venture innovation incubator. We encourage local innovators to explore what this great community resource has to offer.
