A national co-working space chain is opening a Birmingham location next month.

Switchyards describes itself as a neighborhood work club.

Its newest location will be at 3606 6th Ave. S. near Avondale Park.

The workspace is open 24/7, with free locally sourced coffee and organic tea.

Founder and CEO Michael Tavani started Switchyards in 2019 with the stated goal of creating “a place in your neighborhood purpose-built to sit with your laptop, grab a coffee, and get some good work done.”

Memberships are $100, but members may visit any of franchise’s locations in seven states. Team memberships are also available.

Memberships will be available May 15, beginning at 10 a.m.

For one day before memberships drop, the club will be open for a sneak peek tour with coffee during the day, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A party – with stronger drinks – will take place from 6 to 8 p.m.

Anyone interested can link here for early access. According to Switchyards, its last eight clubs have sold out memberships on drop morning.

Members can also reserve rooms for meetings, as well as book phone booths.

In 2024, Switchyards announced plans to open 200 new clubs within the next five years, fueled by a $5 million investment by Bullpen Capital, Cercano, Overline and others.
