Imagining the perfect place

A HackerSpace should be spacious with preferably a few smaller rooms to have different projects in.
The Kitchen is nearly a must but it should be a bit shielded from any other rooms to avoid any smells.
A Bathroom is an interesting feat.
The Living Room Spacious enough to have a couch and big table
A good public transport link is a must too

The perfect place would have:

  • A low rent ✓
  • Heating ✓
  • Natural light / windows to open ✓
  • Kitchen ✓
    • Side note: the building has a huge cantina on the other side of the building, not sure if we can use it, we'll have to ask..
  • Toilet(s) ✓
  • Shower ✗
  • Parking or at least the possibility to access it with a truck to (un)load stuff ✓
  • A bus stop or railway station not too far away and available till late ✓
  • Separate entry (not shared with the rest of the tenants) so that we can install our own access system ✗
    • The building has one shared entrance, the reception is always staffed by at least one person
  • No (or deaf) neighbours ✓
  • Easy to reach ✓
    • Our location has free parking and is wheelchair accessible
  • Some storage rooms (basement/cellar) for server ✓
  • Broadband Internet access ✓
  • Possibility to install machinery / tools for making things ✓
  • Exhibition area ✓
  • Conference/presentation area ✓
    • We can either use our own space or rent a large presentation area in the building for a day
  • Small room without windows/light (for photography stuff) ✗
  • Access to Food (either Restaurants or Markets) ✓
