Pride Month: Alan Turing (and namesake of one of our meeting rooms)
All our meeting rooms at Basestation are named after people who have made a huge contribution to the advances in technology.
Our first floor meeting room, which can accommodate up to 8 people, is named after Alan Turing, an English mathematician and computer scientist.
As it’s Pride Month, we figured now would be a good time to write a short blog about Turing’s contribution to the computer age and also understand the challenges he faced in his personal life.

Pride Month: How to create a coworking space that’s LGBTQ+ safe and welcoming
As it’s Pride Month, it seemed like a good time to share how we aim to create a safe and welcoming space at Basestation for all our residents. We have recently joined the Safe Space Alliance and they provide a helpful range of resources for companies to use.
Sustainability at Basestation
The culture at Basestation has always focused on sustainability, and this has only grown over time as new opportunities and initiatives have developed.
Making it easy for our residents and customers to engage in our efforts is paramount.
Techweek inspired blog with June Chong from TechnologyWise
As it is Techweek this week; Aotearoa’s festival for tech that’s good for the world - we thought it would be a good excuse to catch up with some of our residents in the technology sector at Basestation. One of the longest standing companies here is TechnologyWise, we sat down for a kōrero with June Chong, one of the youngest members of the team.
Safe Space Alliance
Basestation recently signed up to the Safe Space Alliance.
