Frequently Asked Questions
General
Refinery46 is a 30,000 sqft, 3-floor, coworking, office, and event space located in south Broad Ripple. Before becoming Refinery46, the building was an abandoned grocery store distribution center that the owners purchased, renovated, and converted into a premier small business incubator and event space.
We have over 3,000 sqft of open workspace that includes diverse workspace options, bookable call, meeting, and boardrooms, as well as 5 different types of offices that can also be leased.
There are over 80 businesses that work from Refinery46. They range across every industry, with the majority of our members being business owners themselves. However, we do have a good number of members that are including remote workers or individuals who wanted a dedicated workspace outside their home or corporate office.
Refinery46 is a 24/7 facility for our members, where they are able to come and go as they please. Refinery46 staff will be onsite between 8:00am to 5:00pm for tours and onsite support.

Coworking memberships
Coworking is when multiple companies and individuals share a work environment’s space and amenities. Coworking is becoming more and more popular because it allows smaller companies and individuals to have access to really great facilities and amenities at an affordable rate due to the shareability and scale of the space. For those that are small business owners, solo entrepreneurs, remote workers, or interested in being part of a broader community, coworking provides a setting where you can grow your social and professional network while having an effectively conditioned space to get your day-to-day work accomplished.
