About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Engine Room provides a modern coworking setting in Douglas’s traditional business district, based inside Exchange House on Athol Street. It is designed for established businesses, growing enterprises, relocating companies and individuals who need a professional place to work or meet clients. The space combines a stylish communal area with private business workspace, creating a practical balance between focused work and opportunities to connect with neighbouring businesses. The communal setting is intended to encourage conversation, collaboration and the sharing of ideas, while the private areas offer a more dedicated environment for businesses to develop. Meeting facilities are available for screen-led presentations, webinars and business discussions, with fast Wi-Fi highlighted as part of the venue’s offer. The Engine also provides open spaces suitable for conferences, workshops, networking events, fundraisers, art fairs and other gatherings, with catering support available through local providers. For members and visitors, the location is close to the high street, quayside, cafés, restaurants, pubs and the train station. The venue presents itself as a friendly, creative and collaborative place to work, whether you need a regular base, a hot desk for occasional use or a suitable setting for a business event.
