-====== Power ====== +====Architects Preliminary Requirements==== 
-220v service is a minimum for welding and heavy machinery 440v would be better.+[[https://​docs.google.com/​document/​d/​1KcHF_iHykZ8TRsPtQbNJ92DIXfxBM0hx--LL4Hru4u0/​edit?​usp=sharing|Link to Google Doc]]
  
-====== Parking ====== +====Requirements==== 
-i3 has about 8 actual spaceswith additional parking on the street.  ​This works well for daily use (never in my memory using more than their 8 spacesand parties ​(overflowing to the street) I suggest that we should look for a location with similar arrangement.+  * 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 
 +  * Restrooms: Men's & Women'​s ​(at least two restrooms that we can assign) 
 +  * Parking: 6-12 paved spaces w/ overflow ​(on street, adjacent lot after hours, etc) 
 +  * Zoning: Light Industrial / Acceptable ​for Machining 
 +  * Internet access available (provider has presence, or can reasonably establish one) 
 +  * Ceiling Height: 12'+ (open areas) 
 +  * Access: 1 overhead door 
 +  * Other considerations 
 +    * Concrete floor in open space 
 +    * Acceptable for welding  
 +    * Heated 
 +  * Location: Close freeway access / within or near Lansing freeway loop (69/​96/​127) 
 +  * Neighborhood:​ Grandma safe 
 +//note: while the requirements are desired, we respect that there may not be perfect fit.//
  
-====== Area ====== +[[Principal permitted uses policy]]
-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.+
  
-====== Price ====== +====Secondary Considerations==== 
-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 feetand $810 / month. ​ There seems to be a LOT of attractive space available at these prices.+  * Fire suppression (for insurance ​occupancy) 
 +  * Certificate of occupancy (no major impediments ​to occupancy) 
 +  * Accessibility (or reasonably made accessible) 
 +  * Non-multistory OR elevator equipped (for accessibilitylarge equipment movementetc)
  
-====== ​Condition ​====== +====== ​Locations ​====== 
-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.+[[Individual ​space data]] (Currently restricted to board members only)
