projectY cowork Los Alamos is a collaborative coworking space located at 150 Central Park Square in Los Alamos, New Mexico. It serves as a hub for startups, freelancers and others to be connected to like-minded entrepreneurs, business experts, investors and mentors, and operates on a membership and day-pass model.[1]

History

The coworking space, which opened in June 2016,[2] is an initiative between Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation, Los Alamos County, New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Feynman Center for Innovation and Community Relations and Partnerships Office, and Central Park Square owner Philip Kunsberg.[3]

It gets its name from the original code name of the Manhattan Project (Project Y), the top-secret government initiative to build the atomic bomb that was based in Los Alamos during World War II.[4]

Events

projectY cowork hosts a variety of events in the space, including a solar energy workshop hosted by one of its members and discussion from the Los Alamos Business Incubator, LABi.[5][6]

A New Mexico High Tech Roundtable panel discussion takes place at projectY cowork.

Partnerships

In July 2016, projectY cowork partnered with AllGoodWork to offer a residency program to organizations with a demonstrated social impact.[7]
