What do we want in our new space?!?!

5000 ft2 - 10000 ft2 or 460 m2 to 930 m2
Desired Resources

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.
