Space layout ideas
From Makespace
Makespace will have a set of rooms in 17 Mill Lane. You can see more on this video which shows the space before it was cleared.
There's a layout diagram at Layout so we know which rooms we're talking about.
Current rough ideas:
- main workshop space (G24) has benches "classroom style" and some space at one end (useful for day to day work plus speaker/demo events)
- the side room with double doors (G21) is a separately-securable workshop for heavier workshop kit
- the square classroom is a classroom or quiet work area (ok for reading, planning, computing, more than building)
- the mezzanine rooms (G25 and G26) include a kitchenette and cafe style tables for talking/working
- the windowless "operations room" (G28) is an office/secure store for Makespace admin
- Being windowless makes it ideal for using a projector for presentations, or for other activities where darkness is important (developing photographs?)
- the full height small room just off the main space is a library/store
But other ideas are very welcome!
There are also two areas underneath the mezzanine rooms - both the same width as the mezannine rooms but only around 3ft high. Some way to use these conveniently for storage would be great.
