Back in September, we had the opportunity to take over the beloved Creative Coworking space, and we’re so grateful to the @ccoworking team and community for welcoming us with open arms.

And while the name has changed, we’re keeping so much of what makes this space special.

One of our favorite things about our Evanston location is the history behind it. Fun fact: When the Metra railroad was being built, the workers actually lived in this very building! Even cooler? The staircase spindles and handrails are still original.

It’s little details like these that give a space so much character, and we absolutely love that this building has stories to tell.

Over the coming months, we’ll be making a few updates to bring that cozy, welcoming Dayhouse feel to Evanston. Think more open spaces, thoughtful touches, and plenty of inviting places to settle in and get some work done.

But don’t worry, we’re preserving the history and charm that make this space what it is. Because we believe the best spaces are the ones that have a little personality and a whole lot of heart.

To our Evanston community, we’re so happy to be here, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s to come.

And if you haven’t visited yet, we’d love to show you around! Schedule a tour and come say hello.
