This page is for planning the build out of our new space, currently centred on 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
- 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
- Garden/bbq area.
Facilities
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
