| - | ====== Power ====== | + | ====Requirements==== |
| - | 220V service is a minimum for welding and heavy machinery. 480V three-phase 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. Roughly equal shop and craft space. | + | * Fire suppression (for insurance / occupancy) |
| - | + | * Certificate of occupancy (no major impediments to occupancy) | |
| - | ====== Price ====== | + | * Accessibility (or reasonably made accessible) |
| - | 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 for 5k square feet. 116 Charles is 3,300 square feet, and $810 / month. There seems to be a LOT of attractive space available at these prices. | + | * Non-multistory OR elevator equipped (for accessibility, large equipment movement, etc) |
| - | + | ||
| - | ====== 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. | + | |
