We added a new pod of desks, and we made them in the Maker Labs. Over the past few months, we’ve added a lot of new members, so we needed create some more space.
Our hotseats are the easiest and most affordable membership level we offer on a month-to-month basis. But what are they?

We are thrilled to receive funding from the Building a Stronger Economy (BASE) 2.0 economic development grant for our CyberLink Infrastructure Expansion Project.

We were thrilled to host Wichita Startup Week for the third year. WSW volunteers and their sponsors bring local and national experts to share and discuss entrepreneurship-related topics. The weeklong event is affiliated with TechStars, a pre-seed and early-stage accelerator, and coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week.
We have several parking options. We host events at Groover Labs year round. During any given week, we may have hundreds of guests in the building. Maybe they’re attending a training session in our 275-person event venue, or they’re participating in a class in one of our 24-person capacity classrooms, or they’re meeting a client in one of our conference rooms. Check out our parking map for details.
