Student Membership Agreement

Corro Collective, Coworking by Corro and St. Albert Coworking (“Corro”) are shared spaces for students, entrepreneurs, freelance professionals and remote workers who want to belong to and work in a collaborative environment filled with other talented people. “Corro” means circle of people and aptly named for our mandate to be a local hub for the creative and entrepreneurial spirit to flourish.

We love our community inside and outside the building and strive to nourish all that it offers.

Engage. Share. Partcipate

The Corro space is designed to encourage collaboration with common areas and accidental meeting spots that are social spaces, places of relaxation, and places to hatch new ideas. Social programming and events create connections and engage the broader community. Corro members have opportunities to build partnerships, collaborate and share resources that help leverage creativity and innovation. This is your community. Engage with other members, it might be where your next great idea comes from or you might hold the key to theirs. Share your ideas and experiences for cross-collaboration. Participate in activities and events hosted in the space or organize and host your own events.

Use of Our Services & Space

As a member of Coworking by Corro it is presumed that you are not an employee of Corro or it’s parent company 9458204 Canada Inc. You do not have the right or permission to “live” in the space and do not have any residential tenant rights. Corro staff members may ask you to provide proof of your student enrolment.

General Member Etiquette & Community Building

We don’t have a lot of rules in our space so the main focus will be on respect. Respect for others and for the space itself. Membership can be revoked for poor behaviour. We don’t want that and we hope our members don’t either.

While one of the benefits of the space is to create connections and social interaction, it is also where members come to get serious work done. We operate a SCENT-FREE space; please refrain from wearing perfumes or colognes on days that you are coming into Corro.

Please enjoy the convenience of our resources but don't abuse them; refreshments, paper and other supplies are for consuming while at Corro.

Kids and Pets: We love them, but Corro is a place for business and students and not for these loved ones.

Be responsible and respectful with your internet usage. No bit-torrent or illegal online activities are permitted by members or their guests over the Corro internet connection. If the law comes looking for you, we will give you up immediately.

Respect other member’s privacy, confidentiality, property and data just as you would expect they would do for you.

Without exception, there is no smoking or vaping permitted in the building or within 10m (30’) of any building entrance (per City of St. Albert by-law).

COVID-19 and a Healthy Space: In an effort to keep Corro a healthy place for everyone to work, we ask that if you are feeling sick, have a fever or cough that you refrain from coming into Corro. Please let us know immediately so that we can ensure the proper cleaning measures & contact tracing. Since we don't want you to be penalized for keeping everyone else safe, we will arrange for a prorated credit of your monthly fees until you are able to return safe and healthy.

Inclusivity & Safe Harbour: Part of our mission as a creative community hub is to foster a positive, inclusive and safe environment for all members and their guests. We have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate or disruptive behaviour in our space. Members or their guests who do not demonstrate respect and courtesy for others or behave in a manner that is destructive to the space or the community within it will be asked to leave. If anyone in our space makes you feel uncomfortable, bring it to our attention immediately.

Guests

Your student membership is meant for individual study. If someone is joining you for the day, they'll need to purchase a Day Pass to stay and study with you.

Access to Corro

Corro is monitored by staff during our "Staffed" daytime coworking hours and during events. Members are advised that although the space is monitored by staff, Members leaving items unattended do so at their own risk. All members should only use their own fob or credential when entering as this gives us vital stats about use of the space, and ensures that any member perks go to you.

* It is important to note that Corro will be used for hosting events. Members will receive advance notice of any events in the space and all non-member events will typically be hosted after 6pm.

Never let anyone into the space that you are not willing to be personally responsible for.

Membership Payments

Refer to the Membership Fee Schedule at the end of this agreement for details on membership fees and options.

Membership fees are due on the day of the month on which you joined. Members are automatically invoiced monthly in advance. If you are paying by credit card, your card will be automatically debited monthly on your “join” day.

Your membership is not transferable and anyone working in the space must have an active paid membership in their name.

Meeting Rooms, The Conference Room & The Loft

Booking Rooms at Corro

Corro uses an online room booking system. We ask that members look at the online booking system to book the two private meeting rooms, the Conference room and The Loft. If you settle down in a room to work and that room is booked for a meeting later in the day, just know you will be asked to move.

Printing, Scanning & Shredding

Your Favourite Office Electronics

Corro provides a printer, scanner and shredding machine for communal usage. Paper, ink and toner are supplied by Corro. Please be mindful of your printing and avoid abusing your printing privileges.

If documents are abandoned at the communal printing station they will be shred.

Phones & Phone Calls

Hello Operator?

Corro does not provide telephone lines; members may use their mobile devices. Corro is a community, it has a pulse, a beat so expect ambient noise when making calls. Don’t worry though there are lots of places for that more private conversation, and we expect members to practice open office etiquette (if you’re not sure what that is just ask).

Internet Access

Corro makes every effort to provide fast and reliable internet access. Due to forces outside our control, it is possible we may experience outages from time-to-time. We do not provide refunds or compensate members for internet down-time. While Corro provides the fastest connection available, we cannot guarantee quality of IP voice or video communications.

Lockers

Bring Your Own Lock

Dependent on availability, Corro monthly members may register for a locker. If no lockers are available, you can ask the Community Manager to add you to a waitlist. Lockers are 24 cm deep, 28 cm high and 28 cm across.

If you need more than one locker, additional lockers may be available to rent for $5.00 CAD/month. Ask the Community Manager what is available. Additional lockers will not be rented out if there are members waiting on the waitlist.

If your membership is terminated, members will have one week to collect their items from their locker. Abandoned locks on lockers will be cut within 7 business days of a terminated membership and items left behind will only be held for 30 business days.

Housekeeping & Maintenance

While Corro looks after general housekeeping and cleaning, please remember that you share the space with others. Please don't leave your garbage lying around. Clean up after yourself and your guests. Don’t leave dirty dishes on the counter or in the sink… please put them in the dishwasher or wash them by hand. Please leave the areas you occupy tidy when you leave them, ready for the next member to enjoy. Any items left behind will be disposed of by cleaning staff.

We work together to maintain a space we can all feel proud of. If you notice any problems with plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, roof, flooding, equipment, furniture, wifi, network, etc., please bring them to the attention of the Corro staff or management immediately.

Parking

“That was MY parking spot”

Within a one block radius of Corro are many free parking stalls and street parking. Please be mindful of our neighbours, they are our business partners and need to also have parking availability in front of their businesses for their customers.

Sustainability

We only have one Earth

We’ve committed to lighten our environmental footprint. Help us keep our ongoing impact to a minimum with a few simple things:

• Please don’t adjust the thermostat. We do our best to keep a comfortable working temperature for everyone. If you are repeatedly too cold or too warm, please let us know so we can adjust accordingly with everyone in mind.

• Minimize waste: Recycle using the bins located throughout the space or in the kitchen.
