Located at 240 South Lindell Street in the beautiful downtown Historic District of Martin, Tennessee, the UT Martin REED Center Runway is a coworking space that provides entrepreneurs, small business owners and remote workers with a shared space to connect with others on a professional level. The Runway provides not only an office setting for businesses, but a space that fosters innovation, productivity, and a sense of community in a comfortable and professional workplace. The UT Martin REED Center Runway aligns with UT Martin’s Strategic Plan to leverage and connect the university to economic-development initiatives.
Unique to most coworking spaces, a staff of economic development specialists are on-site to assist with confidential small business counseling and training. Free or low-cost seminars are provided by the UT Martin REED Center on a variety of small business topics. UT Martin faculty, staff, student interns, and subject-matter experts are available for one-on-one small business consultations and support.
Several private meeting rooms are available on the premises. The seminar room seats up to 24 and has installed technology providing virtual classroom and meeting capabilities. The conference room and casual meeting room will both seat up to eight and have technology installed for virtual meetings. These rooms are free to Runway members and are available to non-member small businesses to rent for business-related meetings.
The REED Center is also within walking distance of seven restaurants, three banks, Martin’s Farmer’s Market, the Brian Brown Memorial Greenway, the Martin Library, a 24-hour gym and a yoga studio.
