Revision as of 14:16, 23 March 2013

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

identify location for servers & switches
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 (unfortunately these are still being paid for, so we can't take them over):

020 7729 4055
020 7729 7283

FTTC looks like it's available.

Ordered with Zen. Phone line to be installed on Wednesday 27/3/2013.

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
