This page is for planning the build out of our new space at 447 Hackney Road.

Please note, this is for planning on bringing up a new space to the level we currently enjoy, not new things. (that can come after) This is so that we have a action and cost plan to maintain the level of our current space.

Building Front

  • Planning permission on changing the frontage/signage
  • Asking the Grafitti artist (Ben Eine) that did the 'M' on the shutters if he's ok with us changing it to an 'H', maybe he could do it for us :P

Basement

  • Panel basement Fire Exit with plywood
  • Extraction for individual tools and room dust.
  • Power distribution to the center of the room etc
  • Moar network sockets around room (ACnode)
  • Look at flooring situation

Ground Floor

  • Moar network
  • Mid room power
  • Electric release on the rear door
  • Building of classroom
  • Draft proof louvre windows

Car Park

  • Member access for car parking and bike storage. Can we use doorbot to restrict/enable access?
  • Garden/bbq area.

Facilities

Internet

  1. identify location for servers & switches
  2. floodwire cat6 around both floors; need not be terminated immediately but installing wiring when empty is easier!

There are at least 2 live phone lines:

  • 020 7729 4055
  • 020 7729 7283

FTTC looks like it's available

Storage

  • Members boxes
  • Rarely-used equipment
  • Supplies

Disability considerations

Probably a legal requirement as change of use likely on taking new place.

  • Disabled-access toilet (Mobility bars, light switch) (doesn't have to be disab-only but preferable if can be)
  • Low light switches (ask Sparky to certify?) or use ceiling-mounted pullcords full-height
  • Entrance ramp
  • Lower door laser
  • All enclosed spaces should have an alarm cord: not only in case of someone disabled falling but also in case anyone overcome by fumes and can't escape
  • General principle to not have power sockets at skirting level but always 3' off ground

Total Costing

The above will cost approximately - £xxx
