Move into our temporary space

[johnmckerrell]

We have arranged access to the ground level space in the yard of the Tapestry Building that we can use as a mini-makerspace while the lift is out of action (in issue #1833). This issue is to be used for planning the move.

Main access to the space would be from Constance Street. There is a large shutter which needs to be raised for wheelchair access but there's also a smaller shutter that can be used if you can manage a step. It will also be possible to use the fire escape to access it from DoES although we need to be aware of a problem with the render on the wall above the fire escape.

The space was previously Melodic Distractions's bar & cafe. For now the actual bar area won't be available to us but there's enough space within the "conservatory" to be useful. We have to keep anything that could be a fire risk, e.g. laser cutters or 3D printers, around 2m away from the fire escape. To do this we'll put them in a corner next to the bar area.

There will be keys within DoES that can be used to open the doors and the shutters. We'll need to work out how these are managed but as it's attached to DoES hopefully it will be easier.

We need to decide what we're taking, a list follows, this can be discussed in comments then updated here once decisions are made, checked boxes mean they've been moved:

• [x] Fridge (the spare white one that is currently by the front door)
• [x] Small laser cutter
• [x] Laser cutter filter
• [x] Some desks (tbd which)
• [ ] A printer (if we have one spare)
• [x] Some chairs (maybe best if stackable)
• [ ] Heat source (e.g. oil filled radiators)
• [ ] Cupboard to store paper, some laser materials etc.
• [x] 3D printer?
• [ ] Sewing machine / overlocker? (Could just be moved down when needed)
• [x] Kettle
• ...

Subtasks:

• [ ] Create a plan of the space
• [ ] Decide what we're taking
• [ ] Decide how we arrange access
• [x] Confirm insurance requirements
• [x] Sign agreement
• [x] Move in
