The blue door to the hackspace.

This page is about getting into the space. For travel information see getting to the space, for the layout see The Space.

As a member, you can get 24-hour access to the hackspace. There are a number of doors between the hackspace and the street, and you'll receive everything you need for access as part of the joining process. The last step is the physical setup of a Gatekeeper card at the hackspace.

Upstairs

Street access to the upstairs part of the space is through the turquoise door on the south-east corner of Roden House; at the corner of Ashley and Alfred streets. Go up the spiral stairs, then straight on the first floor. The first door is for Upstairs and requires access code.

On the innermost door, you will find Gatekeeper (pictured right), for which you will need an RFID card. The RFID reader is behind the H symbol. Normally RFID is provided by the membership team to new members, you can pick up a blank replacement RFID card from the hackspace for a £1. RFID entry is being extended into Hackspace 2.5 as rooms are being opened up for general access. Look for the Hackspace H on doors that are equipped with an electonic latch.

Once registered, the Gatekeeper LCD displays a welcome message whenever you swipe in. By default, it's "Welcome [your name]", but you should be able to edit it in your HMS profile. Beware, multiple RFID cards too close together in your wallet may cause the reader to misread, in which case the LCD will say "Access denied" instead of your greeting.

Downstairs

Downstairs can be accessed using the internal route from upstairs, see below. It can also be access from the Roden Street entrance (which has signs about the gym upstairs).


Internal route between upstairs and downstairs

This is the lift. A convenient way to get heavy rubbish to the bins.

Remember to take your RFID door access card.

From upstairs go through the back doors of the hackspace, past the Metalworking Area. Follow the corridor along and around to the right, where you will reach this goods lift. Heavy waste can be put on the lift, but note, it can not be operated from the inside.

Go to the ground floor use the stairwell (or lift, see below). Turn right at the bottom of the stairs or from lift (opposite way to the Roden Street entrance). The doors are unlocked and open during the day. They may need propping open at night to avoid them closing and locking you outside. The big red bins are just outside.

The waste collections are every Tuesday and Thursday morning and is sorted by the contractors for recycling (check all this June 2019). The bins are frequently filled by other Bizspace tenants, Tuesday evening is normally the best day to find the bins with capacity.

If the lift is busy or unavailable ask for assistance if the waste is too heavy.

Do not dump rubbish anywhere in the shared / public parts of the building. BizSpace are very strict about this, and charge £50 per 'offence'. Remember you are on CCTV in the public parts of the building!

The wheeled trolleys in the Hackspace workshop are useful to shift large amounts of rubbish (when the lift is available), usually found near the Metalworking Area.

Leaving the space

If you are the last person leaving the space, please turn off the lights and make sure doors are not latched and that they close properly behind you. We share the stairwell with the dance school on the floor above, who do leave the street door on the latch during their class hours: 16:00 - 21:00 weeknights, daytimes at weekends. Signage on doors also details their hours.
