Hackspace 1.0
The first Nottingham Hackspace was based inside the The Art Organisation. It started as just one storage room, but expanded into a small workshop with a larger office space. It had access to a shared hall that could be used for events and a large corridor that was converted into a small private cinema.
Location

The studio
The workshop
Michael Erskine used Sweet Home 3D to produce some nice floor plans. Here are screenshots of the rough wall/door outline using Tony's breakout area measurements.
The wiki won't allow the SweetHome3D file to be uploaded so it is on one of Michael's servers.

These were the rough dimensions:
- A: 300CM
- B: 473CM (Wall to Wall)
