FAQs

General VIDA Information

How is VIDA different from the typical office space for rent in Portland, Oregon?

VIDA is a turnkey coworking space. Individuals, remote workers and businesses can join our membership program to receive everything needed to enjoy their work — and then some! Your VIDA membership includes unique office features and amenities, including open space access, dedicated desk or private office, furniture, office supplies, fitness studio, beverages and so much more.

How are you keeping the VIDA coworking space safe and clean?

Each of us on Team VIDA is committed to creating a safe and healthy work environment for our Members. And, we ask for your commitment to do the same. Post-covid, we have thoughtfully and meticulously implemented new rules and protocols designed to offer the best-possible outcomes in communication, security and cleanliness. We follow guidance from the Multnomah County Health Department and the CDC.

What are the hours of operation?

The VIDA coworking community is professionally staffed Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 5:00pm; however, full-time VIDA Members (excluding Virtual & PT Memberships) have 24/7 access via our door access system.

Can Members use both of the Portland and Beaverton locations?

Yes! VIDA members will have access to each coworking community, and can work in the Main Space or Conference Rooms in either location at no additional cost. 

I would like a private office. Can I choose the one I want?

Yep! Explore our available office options and then book a tour to visit in person. When you are ready to formally select your office, we will send you a membership link to confirm your new VIDA membership.

And, if you need more one-day passes or conference room hours, don’t worry. You can always add them as you need them. Grab yours now!

Can men be Members?

Yes! In concept and interior design, VIDA is specially crafted with women in mind, and with amenities that supports and enhances the lives of women and families. That said, ALL are welcome to join the VIDA Coworking Community.

Are the memberships a month-to-month commitment?

Our coworking community is an integral part of the VIDA experience, and we’re committed to cultivating that community. That said, we’re also committed to being flexible so we can better accommodate varying work needs. All memberships are billed month-to-month, with a full 30-day notice to cancel.

How am I billed?

Each Member has their own VIDA account through our community management site, Proximity. Monthly membership fees will be charged on the day you began your membership – and to the credit card or ACH account on file. Recurring plans will continue until canceled, and cancellations require a 30-day notice. All other incidental charges (postage, food, misc. charges) will post to the account and be charged at the time of service. Credit cards will be charged a 3% fee, while ACH payments are free.

Are kids welcome?

Yes! VIDA was specifically designed to support the needs of women and families, and kids are always welcome onsite. For younger kiddos, we suggest members keep their kids in a private office or booked conference room, and for older kiddos we have onsite activities and projects. We also offer programs and services to support families.

How does the Fitness Studio work?

We have an onsite Peloton Bike and Treadmill, and you can reserve the Fitness Studio through your Proximity account. Peloton offers a variety of classes, including yoga, stretching and meditation and we have free weights onsite too.

What other onsite amenities are included in my membership?

Let us count the ways in which VIDA creates a new and improved work life! In addition to getting comfortable in our beautiful space, Members have access to our Member Concierge for a variety of personal and professional requests, as well as access to our Fitness Studio for a Peloton ride or OnDemand exercise class, or walk/run on the Treadmill; or relax in our Unwind Studio, which features streaming services on the TV, a daybed/couch and quiet activities like puzzles, knitting and coloring.

Our main kitchen offers full beverage service, with local favorites including Marigold Coffee, which VIDA prepares and serves, as well as Jasmine Pearl Teas, Herbucha Kombucha and Stumptown Cold Brew on tap, and filtered water. At Portland, we also have a very fancy espresso and cappuccino machine that makes a variety of hot beverages.

In addition to the onsite amenities, we are committed to creating and nurturing a thriving community. We offer a dedicated Slack Channel, Mastermind Groups, ongoing personal and professional development classes, member Perks and weekly and monthly Member events.

We truly hope you enjoy all of these amenities and get to know your fellow coworking community. We believe they’re all integral ingredients in the elusive recipe to truly Make Life/Work and live your best life.

Does VIDA have conference rooms?

Yes! We have two proper conference rooms at each location – Visionary seats six people and Vintage seats 14 people. Conference rooms must be reserved through a Proximity account. Members receive discounted hourly rates, and non-members can reserve a conference room by setting up a free Community Member Account at portland.vidacoworking.com or beaverton.vidacoworking.com

What if I’m not in a position to fully pay the monthly membership fee, but I really want to be a part of the VIDA community?

We do always try to Make Life/Work for those who want and need it! Please email us at hello@vidacoworking.com for more info.

What’s expected of me as a Member?

We strongly believe in creating a community that is kind, inclusive, collaborative and engaged. As such, we expect our Members to represent and respect these ideals. More about our Community Values, the VIDA vision and our commitment to you can be found in the Member Handbook, which you will receive upon joining.

Are pets welcome at VIDA Coworking?

Sadly, no. But we will happily provide a frame for a desk photo!
