Kitchens
Everyone can access our kitchen at DPARTMNT. Please yourself to fruit, tea (top drawer under the coffee machine), coffee, hot chocolate etc.
Our microwaves, fridge, toasted sandwich maker & toaster (butter’s in the fridge) are all there and ready for you to use.
All we ask in return is that you respect our space and place all plates, cups and cutlery in the dishwasher and wipe down the benches after use.
Please be considerate and avoid bringing strong smelling food into the space - and especially back to desk areas.
Bathrooms
Our bathrooms can be found next to the kitchens. Showers are there for you to use if you require.
Feel free to bring your own towel but we’ve got some fresh ones if you need it.
Phone Etiquette
We know calls are essential to business so you are free to take calls in all areas at DPARTMNT. Please be courteous and respectful and use headphones as opposed to loudspeaker.
If the call requires robust conversation or is likely to take more than a couple of minutes, you might like to move away from the co-work desk areas and utilise the booths, armchairs, pop-in room or duck into a vacant meeting room.
If you’re holding a virtual meeting, please consider booking a meeting room or jumping into one of the Pop-ins or Zoom rooms.
If a meeting room is vacant you are more than welcome to make use of the space for short stints. Please be aware that others may have booked the room and these bookings must take priority.
Checking availability on the app before entering the meeting room
is a good idea to ensure you don’t impact on other members & their guests and also means you are less likely to be interrupted during your meeting.
