A collaborative coworking space to inspire ideas and action across the built environment.
55 Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 4AH
Nearest Station is Goodge St
We offer a coworking space to bring our industry together, to educate, inspire, and action ideas not just for business but for social and environmental reform. Supported by a member network and a program of events, this is more than a workspace, it’s a community that’s driven to engineer a better, and healthier society.
The Building Society was created by engineers Elliott Wood, for a simple purpose. How can we address the problems our planet and society face? It’s a big question and one we knew couldn’t be answered alone, so we created a space where those from the built environment could think, make and work all in one place.
So whilst the workspace is busy with day-to-day business, our members also have a digital forum and events program built around a framework for understanding societies’ challenges and to explore solutions around these themes – Education, Technology, Health, Infrastructure, Culture, and Sustainability – we call it ETHICS .
We hope through debate and knowledge-sharing we can make changes to the way we build and impact legislation. That with better design and creativity we can make places where people live better lives.
But we also believe The Building Society can build better businesses, careers, and resources. Where else can you find a workspace where architects and engineers, PMs and M&Es, can all lean on each other? Where young and old uncover new skills, and opportunities are opened. Our building offers the best in facilities, but it’s our community that’s our strength.
