Revision as of 14:54, 4 December 2015
Hackspace 2.5 could be closer than we think!
We have an opportunity to take on additional space downstairs. Below are 4 images - outline plans of our current space and the new space downstairs, and a potential way we could use this space - this is purely for illustrative purposes and is likely to change a lot if we actually take it on!
The space would allow us to increase the size of most of our most used spaces, and will give us space for bigger, better, tools. We would be able to put stairs and disabled access throughout the space, and move our “front door” to ground, step free, level. A space downstairs could become a bigger “blue room”/classroom, which we could make into a bookable resource. The large space downstairs has some concrete flooring, which could change what tools we can use. In short, there are huge opportunities.
It doesn’t tick all the boxes - there is no outside space and it doesn’t fix our parking issues, but it would be a massive improvement on what we have now.
In true Hackspace fashion, we’d like to start a pledge drive to go towards capital costs, deposit and possibly even increase our buffer to prevent us from going into the red.
We will be discussing and deciding upon this proposal at the Annual General Meeting on 3rd December - make sure you attend or proxy your vote by emailing trustees@nottinghack.org.uk

Pledge Drive
Unlike other pledge drives, we are flexible on when we will collect this. There is no date we need to hit to get it in. We would like people to pay within a couple of months of the end of the pledge, which will be when we take possession but we have enough money in the current buffer to cover any costs. Your pledge would then "refill" the buffer.
Rewards
In keeping with tradition, we will have a new "Wall of Names" showing who helped make the new space possible
Additionally we will be the biggest Hackspace in the UK, meaning those who pledge will also receive a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
