What is it?

The Idea Greenhouse is a membership-based 2,400 square foot office facility for professionals looking for an easy, affordable, and flexible place to work & meet in the Seacoast region.

Our members share office & events space, high speed internet, office equipment, and their collective creative energy in a friendly, productive environment.

Who uses it?

Our members work in many different industries and job categories, including:

Freelancers/Consultants, many in the web/technology space
Web-based entrepreneurs running small businesses
Knowledge workers telecommuting for bigger companies
Graphic & Web Designers
Independent Marketers
UNH-related technology startups
Clean Tech startups and consultants

What type of workspace is available?

We offer a range of options to meet your needs and budget, in two categories:

Dedicated Space, where members have space for their exclusive use on a month-to-month or longer lease basis. Options include:

Small Office (Prices & More Info)

Cube Space- approx. 6' x 7' (Prices & More Info)

Desk Space- approx. 3' x 15'(Prices & More Info)

"Drop In" Space, where members use any available seat in a designated area, but do not have any particular space for their dedicated use.

This style of working is often refered to as "coworking" and is a way for small business and web-based employees to work out of the house but not have the higher cost of a long-term lease for office space.
