-====== Power ====== +====Requirements==== 
-220v service is minimum ​for welding ​and heavy machinery. ​ 440v would be better.+  * Power: 440v 3-phase ("​heavy power"​) 
 +  * Size: 5,000 sq.ft. - 12,000 sq.ft. 
 +    * Office/​Finished::​Open Area Ratio 50/50, or finishable/​divisble by us

-====== Parking ====== +[[Principal permitted uses policy]]
-i3 has about 8 actual spaces, with additional parking on the street. ​ This works well for daily use (never in my memory using more than their 8 spaces) and parties (overflowing to the street). ​ I suggest that we should look for a location with a similar arrangement.+
  
-====== Area ====== +====Secondary Considerations==== 
-i3 started out with something like 2k square feet, moved quickly ​to 5k square feet, and is working hard to double to 10k square feet already. ​ I think we should be looking ​for 5k+ square feet.+  * Fire suppression (for insurance / occupancy) 
 +  * Certificate of occupancy (no major impediments ​to occupancy) 
 +  * Accessibility (or reasonably made accessible) 
 +  * Non-multistory OR elevator equipped (for accessibility,​ large equipment movement, etc)
  
-====== ​Price ====== +====== ​Locations ​====== 
-A few quick google searches, limited mostly to a look through ​[[http://​www.cityfeet.com/​cont/​mi/​lansing-industrial-space]], show space as low as $2.00 / square foot / year.  Which works out to $834 / month. ​ 116 Charles is 3,300 square feet, and $810 / month. ​ There seems to be a LOT of attractive space available at these prices. +[[Individual ​space data]] (Currently restricted ​to board members only)

-====== Condition ====== +
-One thing we're not short on is labor. ​ We've got some of the most skilled volunteers in the Lansing area.  If a space is a little rough, I don't think it should scare us off.  We fix things. ​ It's what we do.+
