Birmingham’s first 24/7 workspace area, Switchyards, plans to open this spring!
For those of us who love a quiet, secluded spot to bring our laptops and dive into work, this is the perfect spot. Coined as The Magic City’s first “neighborhood work club,” Switchyards is bringing out the best vibes of a local coffee shop, a cozy college library and a hotel lobby all in one.

Switchyards is the ultimate “third place” option

If you work a 9-5 like most do, you can understand the need for having a dedicated workspace that is not your home or office.
Founded in 2016 in Atlanta by Michael Tavani, Switchyards aims to inspire face-to-face engagement and encourage professional development. The company utilizes historic buildings to create a cozy environment where business professionals can focus on work and enjoy a familiar atmosphere.
Currently, Switchyards has 24 clubs around the country, with its 25th being right here in The Magic City. The club will be limited to 250 members and cost $100 per month. Other features include:
- Quiet areas for deep focus
- Energetic spaces for collaboration
- Fast internet
- Unlimited coffee and tea
- Phone booths for private calls
- Networking opportunities
Check out Switchyards this May
Switchyards will offer one-day-only tours on May 14 and begin offering membership on May 15.
