Preliminary plan of Ground Floor

Our new space, ours from Friday 15th March 2013. At more than 6500 sq ft (600 m²) over two floors, it's nearly triple the size of our old space, and also includes a > 6000sqft dedicated yard with loading bay.

This space is currently not open to members or the general public.

There's lots to do before we move in. Here are some resources that help us coordinate the move: Hackspace Move. We need as much help as you can offer!

Expected Cost

A graph of predicted income and expenses

This space increases our monthly budget from around £5,000 to over £10,000 per month. At the moment, membership income is around £7,000/month, so we need to increase our membership income significantly in order to cope.

We have the benefit of nearly £40,000 in savings in the bank, and the first 4 months of our lease are rent-free.

• There is a cash machine directly across the road by the Tesco.
