Buckhannon’s IDEA is a coworking haven for holiday travelers

The IDEA coworking space on the second floor of the Innovation Center.

BUCKHANNON – If you’re on the road this holiday season, downtown Buckhannon is home to a modern coworking space ideal for travelers who need a temporary base to work away from the hustle and bustle of home.

Nestled at the vibrant intersection of Spring and Main Streets, The IDEA is located in Buckhannon’s Innovation Center, a $3.7 million hub for creativity and productivity operated by the Upshur County Development Authority.

The heart of The IDEA beats on the second floor, where a coworking space — designed to Innovate, Develop, Educate, and Advance — welcomes both permanent and temporary workers. It’s a concept that has gained traction in recent years, especially among remote workers seeking a professional workspace without long-term commitments. The space offers monthly and daily rates, and at just $15 per day, The IDEA is perfect for short-term guests.

In addition to the integrated shared office area, The IDEA offers gigabit internet, a soundproof booth for private calls, reservable conference rooms, bathrooms and a small kitchen. And just a few steps away on Buckhannon’s Main Street, you’ll find coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, galleries, quirky shops, a community arts center and even a synthetic ice rink.

Stop by and see the space for yourself — just head to the second floor of the Innovation Center, 21 E. Main Street in Buckhannon. You can also reach out at 304-472-1757 for more details.
