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
