PS:1 will not be able to fit in its current space forever. Opinions on when the move should happen are varied, but we should enter any process well-informed and ready to make a good decision.
Location
- Close to CTA is important.
- Close to metra is also useful.
- Closer to downtown can encourage groups (similar to LUG) to meet at the space.
Space requirements
Previous hunts (Newhackspace; 2011 New Space Search) have listed out relevant requirements. They're a good springboard.
Accessibility
- Wide doorways
- Hand rails in bathrooms
- Elevator
- if there are raised entryways, have some ramps that help people drive through
Existing amenities
Power
- Ample household circuits in all rooms - at least 2 20A circuits per room for lounge/classroom. 4 20A circuits for electronics. 8+ 20A circuits in shop, to be distributed by overhead cord reels, in addition to circuits for tools.
- 3 phase is a must. Bonus points for disconnects in place around shop space
Rooms
- Multiple single-occupancy bathrooms at minimum.
- Shower in one of those bathrooms is a plus
