What do we want in our new space?!?!
== Space Requirements ==
5000 ft2 - 10000 ft2 or 460 m2 to 930 m2
=== Desired Resources ===
* shower
* more space > 1500
* natural light
* High Ceilings > 16'
* a real kitchen - room to move around in
* bathroom that doesn't smell
* Decent heating/control of our own heating
* very close to a bus stop/el stop
* Ventilation
* Good power - we only have 2x110V breakers we need more and also access to at least 220V and 220V 3-phase
* Decent neighborhood - check chicagocrime.org
* Food near by that is of high quality
* Storage
* access to water in the space
* room for lockers and materials
* ability to modify/improve the structure to test out green tech (thus lowering our heating bills) and to get a discount on rent for it.
== Budget Projections ==
Currently we have 37 full members and 5 members at the starving hackers rate, which puts out monthly income at $1800/mo.
What do you think the relation between members and available space is? I estimate that we will experience greater than linear growth for a linear increase in space.
To clarify, I feel that the difference in member capacity between a space that is 3000 sq. ft. and one that is 4500 sq. ft. is more than 50% of the first space.
