Your New Workspace is Ready!

We just wrapped renovations in our studio area. With that comes a rare opportunity– new Offices and Workspaces are now available for month-to-month memberships.

No waitlist. (Yet.)

No long-term commitments.

Just a fresh start, connected to a vibrant community.

What’s up for grabs?

2 Small Offices - $515/mo

Perfect for teams of 1 to 3. Each Office comes with two Autonomous sit-stand desks and a lockable file cabinet.

1 XL Office - $1,545/mo

Built for growing teams. Furnished with six sit-stand desks, a lockable file cabinet, and room to build your company.

11 Workstations - $285/mo

Our newest concept, designed for privacy and focus. You’ll have an L-shaped desk, chair, tall partitions, and plenty of space for multiple monitors.

Why Are We So Excited?

We don’t get new inventory often. When an office opens up, it goes fast. So don’t wait. These spaces are perfect for remote workers, small teams, freelancers, and founders ready to plug into our community.

Groover Labs is more than a collection of workspaces. We’re a community. Tech-focused? Yes. But we’re open to all disciplines. Innovation happens when people from different backgrounds collide.

Every Membership Includes:

• .24/7 building access (with a one-time $25 background check per member)

• Unlimited access to 9 multimedia conference rooms and 6 private call booths

• Stable, ultra-fast gigabit fiber internet with high-speed Wi-Fi

• Mobile-enabled entry to the building and offices

• Free parking right outside the building

• Free printing, scanning, and bottomless custom-blend coffee

• Prime Old Town location, steps from some of Wichita’s best restaurants

• Discounts on public events, classes, and workshops

• Invitations to members-only events—lunches, happy hours, holiday parties, and family events

• A strong, connected community of founders, entrepreneurs, remote workers, freelancers, and tech professionals

• Access to our private Slack community

Whether you’re launching something new or you need a new place to get your work done, now is the time.

Gridley + Hoover = Groover

Curt Gridley, a native Kansan, graduated from Wichita State University in 1980 and went on to earn a master’s degree from Dartmouth in 1983.

Meanwhile, Tracy Hoover, who grew up in New Jersey, graduated from Wellesley College in 1985.

With careers in software engineering, they met at a Fortran Language Standards Conference in 1986 in New Mexico and married in 1992. Tracy continued to work as a software engineer in the Boston area until 1997.

After spending some time working in the software industry, Curt knew the focus would turn toward making hardware faster and less expensive. In 1994, he founded a venture-backed hardware startup, Amber Wave Systems, which he successfully sold to USRobotics in 1996.

In 2000, Curt and Tracy established The Gridley Family Foundation, for which they have served as the sole trustees. Since inception, the foundation has contributed $2 million to charitable causes, more than $1 million of which went to WSU. Since moving back to Wichita in 2005, Curt has been on the boards of the WSU Foundation, MakeICT and the Ulrich Museum, while Tracy has been treasurer for a national musical organization, treasurer for MakeICT and on the music faculty at WSU.

Curt and Tracy have two children, Henry and Fiona.

Since moving to downtown Wichita in 2016, Curt and Tracy have become more attuned to changes occurring in the center of Wichita. They learned of the nearby and vacant Printing Inc. building in a casual conversation with a neighbor and began considering a purchase. With their technology and investment background, experience founding tech startups, connection to the local creative community and work as trustees of a private foundation, Curt and Tracy are in a unique position to successfully complete this project.
