View source for Hosted Areas Planning Work Products

This page is '''in flux'''. The [[Space Planning for Hosted Areas Committee]] will be updating it continually to share information with the membership. That means that everything in here is a rough draft!

== Plans ==
[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OYIUv_jjoAdE1qd0RMUTFLUUk Plan options], as of 2013-03-23.

== Plans Notes ==

=== Hot Metals ===
* Locating near the back door allows airflow for forging, foundry
* Locating toward the front allows easier access to ventilation
* Includes space for all sheet metal equipment and a potential CNC plasma cutter

=== Cold Metals ===
* Includes the jewelry equipment, located in the ventilated section
* All options require extensive three-phase work
* Due to low dust and noise, location in Plan Option 1 and 2 permit the large, sliding fire doors between jewelry and Meeting/Lounge Area to stay open to through traffic.

=== Small Metals ===

=== Kitchen ===


=== Wood Shop ===
* Locating near the loading dock allows easy loading/unloading access for large lumber
* Keeping in the current location causes the general area to be also dusty
* Keeping in the current location allows dust collection and ShopBot to potentially stay in place
* Moving requires that the current space be cleaned
* Would include member storage shelving
* Includes space for ShopBot and desktop CNC routers

=== CNC ===
* Clean Area 
* Would require ventilation and compressed air runs if small, quiet compressor is not sufficient

=== General Area ===
* If powder coating is not a code concern, can go in ex-garage shed, past the boiler
* Would include member storage

=== Arts & Crafts Area ===
* CNC equipment would move from graphic arts and textiles; graphic arts and textiles would expand into the cleared area
* Electronics would not change

=== Electronics Area ===

=== Additional Notes ===
* Hookups for an additional shop sink exist immediately opposite of the large sliding door to the Meeting/Lounge Area (exterior of the short kitchen wall.) This allows for a potential, larger washup sink.

== Code and Permit Concerns ==
* High Hazard Occupancy (Class I)
** Wood shop and hot metals classified as a high hazard due to dust, compressed air, flammable gases, et cetera
** Any separations must be four hour walls (which, presumably, implies cement block construction)
* Maria’s boss, Linda willing to help
* Permits
** We’ll need electrical permit, and interior built out permit
** An Easy Permit might be available, allowing us to avoid paying for an architect
** This requires a licensed contractor and electrician, because the space will be inspected
* ADA
** Knocking down a bathroom wall won’t be trivial, needs more research
** Funds are available for 501(c)3s aiming at ADA compliance
** Replacing the safe to make a bathroom might be appropriate
** This can allow us to do it correctly, but will require plumbing permit
** As soon as possible, we need to add messages to all event announcements regarding helping people get access
** Linda stated that this is sufficient to meet ADA requirements in the interim
* Hot metals must move due to ventilation, which implies walls in every plan
** This is due to dust
* Any wall penetrations (compressed air, ventilation) may need to be fire rated or comply with code regulations, needs more research
** Maria will ask Linda about implications
* Any announcement with the plans or the final vote will have to include a caveat about code implications that are yet to be discovered
