The Case for Nontraditional Training Rooms and Facilities
Your new batch of employees is bright, plucky, and excited about working with your company. Now all you have to do is initiate them into the fold without destroying their passion by training them in a boring, life-sucking, fluorescent-lit, grey carpeted training room.
These days, the sky is the limit for work spaces, so why settle for a dull and overused space that is sure to de-motivate your new workers? Instead, choose a space that will energize and inspire your trainees.
There are plenty of companies that specialize in training rooms. For a traditional room, you could go with something like MicroTek, which has locations all over the world and provides the standard, required training facilities. But for something a little different, less conventional, and more stimulating, try one out one of these:
Workspring is a Chicago space that supports “innovation, creative collaboration, and strategic planning” through meeting spaces equipped with food, creative tools, ergonomic furniture, open layouts and retreat nooks for relaxation.
Peerspace isn’t a space, but an incredible resource for finding spaces to suit any kind of event from meetings and trainings to film shoots and weddings. Simply search for the kind of space you need and it’ll show you a host of unique venues in 10 big cities in the United States and Europe.
Free Range Office. As ever, if you’re in Chicago and want a beautiful space for a meeting, training, or conference, then Free Range Office is the space to use. Not only a coworking space, Free Range also offers conference rooms with whiteboards, a flatscreen tv, projectors, ergonomic tables and chairs, and high speed WiFi. That combined with the added perks of hospitality and a light-filled room set in the heart of Wicker Park – one of Chicago’s liveliest neighborhoods – Free Range is the place to win your employees over and give them the tools they need to thrive.

Of course, if you’re training in the spring or summer, it’s worthwhile to consider holding your training course outside, in a park or nature preserve. Make it a mini-retreat for something really special, a bonding and learning experience that your employees will never forget.
