===General Build Prep Issues===
*Need to have communication problems taken care of
**Need to have groups talking together better

===Building Prep===
*Looking at getting some carts to help with move and might be kept permanently in Room 2
*Build would be in Phases
**Lounge might go into Room 5
**Not calling the kitchen/office what they are now
**Will not knock down walls due to cost, fire prevention, other issues
**There is some asbestos in the building, but has been remediated by the school system for the most part
***We will test areas that we are concerned with to be on the safe side. 
**Malissa is willing to help run cables
**In a later phase, Room 6 might be redone to handle auto mechanics

*Considered portable eyewash stations
**Has long term maintenance and insurance issues
**Permanent eyewash stations turn out to be cheaper in the long run
**Might have a lead on a previously installed eye wash station

*Electrical
** 1500 Douglas is run off 2x 100A panels ERP and Woodshop
*** Plasma cutter and A/C are both run off of the front 100 amp panel
** New location has 400A main service panel
*** To have a commercial service run power to all the major equipment might be around $7k with the woodshop/metalshop/FabLab would be right up against the boiler room
*** Electrical is looking to be the biggest expense of the build

*HVAC
** Some rooms already have HVAC
** Already applied for grants to get mini-split HVAC units
** Room 1 has HVAC, but needs to be redone (mold)

*Security
** Do have people checking on the place at random times
** Are having more and more people working on the building

*Community Garden
** Would have to drill a well
** Might be able to borrow the well drilling equipment to do this
** Might have to talk with Jens since current plotting shows a road going along the creek side of the property
** Have several grants we can apply for. 
** Should also look at grey water reclimation


*Phase 0
**Stuff that absolutely has to be done before we can move in per Zoning and Insurance requirements
**Like fixing the bathrooms

*Phase 1
** Make North Doors usable again
** Office area might be used as storage (kinda like admin closet), also security stuff
** Currently trying to use that office area for admin stuff
** Room 6 Current Facility/Maintenance area might also be used for storage
** Room 7 might be turned ERP (currently used for storing garage sale stuff)
*** Might also be used for storage
** Room 9 might also be used  for ceramics along with the Boys Bathroom
*** Would have to run clay traps on sinks
*** Currently the bathroom is a major concern with the insurance company, needs to be dealt with in short order
*** Would add an external doorway if money allows
*** Room 8 would be a print shop and textiles and would include West Bathroom for a wet studio and washout station
*** Room 10 would be Fablab - would make it easier to vent the laser cutters
**** Also has 220v outlet (might be a cost-saving)
**** might move over the CNC equipment from the ERP and/or possibly the shopbot or tormach
*** Room 11 and 13 would be the wood shop.
****Possible knock out the wall between the rooms. If it is not financially possible, they may stay seperate rooms
*** Room 12 and 14 would be two separate rooms for the metal shop (clean room and a dirty room)
**** clean area might include jewelry lab
**** makes it easy to get access to the courtyard for a future Phase 2 blacksmithing/foundry area
** Community garden would be in the courtyard area
** Paint booth  location has not been figured out but is considered a higher hazard level due to EPA issues


*Phase 2
**Might include door access control to each room to track how often spaces are really being used
**Door access might eventually be tied to A/C control 
**Door access needs to be a universal system 
***Would put door passes first on areas of higher security concern
**How this is helpful: woodshop is often left at 68F when no one is around
** Outdoor casting firing Ceramics and Metal get a permit for fire pit would be needed
