West Elementary School

Advantages

  • More space than we currently have.
  • The space is more accessible (no stairs to a lofted area).
  • The space has heating and cooling options that we can turn on/off at our discretion.
  • Separate building for power tool work.
  • Internet will be shared with the entire building (likely will make it cheaper)
  • we wont pay for water/sewage which for us is around 50 dollars in our utilities.
  • we wont maintain lawn

Disadvantages/Concerns

  • The seperate building needs to have a garage door installed. This may be a cost the membership will incur. No time frame established on when we can begin demolition / installation (probably immediately, but need to ask).
  • Internet will be shared with entire building (less control over infrastructure, unless we're the ones put in charge of infrastructure, which may be likely).
    • We would probably share the same open wifi, and then have our own private network. We have the equipment to do this. --Jimshoe (talk) 16:08, 10 April 2013 (CDT)
  • Late night outdoor security concerns (proposed solution?).
    • I driving around there at 2am the other night. It didn't seem unsafe. There was no one out and all was quite. --Jimshoe (talk) 16:08, 10 April 2013 (CDT)
  • With the ability to turn on air and heat comes opportunity for higher maintenance costs.
  • Any beverage imbibing limitations we should know about?
    • No, as our landlord is the owner. This isn't a functioning school. --Jimshoe (talk) 16:08, 10 April 2013 (CDT)
