Berkeley Hub, first in U.S., opens today
The first Hub in the United States opened in Berkeley today at the David Brower Center. The brand new building is one the Bay Area’s most advanced green buildings, exceeding LEED Platinum certification standards. The building also houses many local social and environmental change organizations.
As their web site says:
During the day, The Hub is a dynamic, collision-rich workspace designed by its Members and the wisdom gleaned from Hub communities throughout the world. Social innovators in the Bay Area are leaving their sterile offices, noisy cafes, and isolated living rooms to work alongside diverse peers in a professionally hosted environment. They choose The Hub because it’s where they find the access, tools, community, and inspiration they need to transform their ideas into action.
At night, The Hub transforms into an event platform for member driven collaborations, lectures, screenings, innovation labs, and some of the most compelling and imaginative minds from around the world.

I stopped in this morning to have a look. It looks pretty smooth in there even though they are not totally finished setting up the place. Very glad to have such a space in Berkeley. Hoping for some cool get events and meetups there.
