Case Study: The Desk & Easel rebuilds and keeps its coworking community connected with Proximity Space

The Desk & Easel rebuilds in 2 weeks with Proximity Space after fire

The Desk & Easel, a creative coworking space in Denison, Texas, faced a devastating challenge when its original historic location was destroyed by a fire in an adjacent building in October 2019. The founder, Wendy Acosta, needed to maintain operations and preserve the community she had built for her members after losing their physical space. The case study highlights how the space utilized the Proximity platform to manage its operations during this difficult period.

With the help of the Proximity platform for workspace management, The Desk & Easel was able to quickly regroup. The community's resilience was evident as members were working from a donated temporary space within days of the fire, never missing a beat. This immediate continuity, supported by Proximity's systems, allowed the coworking community to stay connected and engaged while awaiting the construction of a new, larger permanent location, demonstrating the strength of the community Proximity helps to facilitate.
