Protoconnect is Moving!

Starting in April, I’m moving from my current office space. I’ll keep doing the tech work, like wirebonding and semiconductor packaging, at my home office, for everything else, like shipping/receiving, parts pickup and dropoffs as well as client meetings, I’ve decided to rent a coworking office.

I looked at a couple of different places before deciding. I ended up choosing Cahoots, located at 206 E. Huron St., I’m hoping this will work for me as well as my clients. There is a front desk that can handle pickups and dropoffs from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, and even on Sunday from 9am to 3pm.

Huron Street is pretty busy, and it’s tough to find a spot to park on the street nearby. Fortunately, there’s a big parking garage just a short walk away on Washington St. by Fourth Ave. I’ve already signed up for Cahoots and will start using the space in April.
