Madlab interior guy is in town

Hey guys,

Neil Jolliffe is going to be in town on Wednesday to talk about plans for sorting out the bottom floor of the Madlab. Can anyone from HACman make it down to meet him? He’s arriving around noon and leaving some time in the evening, although I’m not sure exactly when.

I can nip over early evening if he’s still about (1830-ish). If not, i’ll
sketch some ideas / preferences and email them through.

Thought i’d note what i’d like here and allow others to weigh in (so we
agree on what we’d like):

Personally, i’d probably aim to use the glass door for people coming to
events downstairs, and the wooden door for people going upstairs. Might it
be worth boxing in the staircase so that hammering / drilling downstairs
doesnt distract others? Essentially what i’d eventually like to do is have
a setup where the shutters are open weekday evenings and weekends, with
people able to come and go using the RFID system to unlock the door, but i
dont know how well this meshes with madlab’s aims.

Storage

  • Strong Shelves for the Recycling Area (aka junk heap). If we shelved
    the entire wall where the junk heap is ATM with shelves about 50cm high,
    that’d give us loads of space.
  • Cupboards / shelves for our stuff (we have 2 of the grey ones
    currently, one for people’s personal stuff, the other for group stuff)

Work Areas

  • Clean area for soldering / electronics: maybe with wall-mounted
    computers with the metal keyboards attached.
  • Dirty Area for sawing / welding / filing / hammering / killing
    printers: need this to be easy to clean, get a shop vac?

Kitchen

  • Add a cooker / fridge / microwave / worktop for food prep (i have a
    little half-oven if needed)

Comfy Area

  • Sofas, soft chairs and the TV, space for games consoles / dvd player, i
    see it as being used for relaxing and/or software development. Maybe
    display cabinets for robots / flashy leds / other awesome things

Power

  • Run more plug sockets to every wall-area.

Is it worth putting this on the wiki while we flesh it out?On 19 April 2010 13:35, Bob Clough parag0n@ivixor.net wrote:

Another idea, is it worth getting hold of an amp & some speakers for
downstairs? I know it makes the atmosphere a bit better if theres some
background music on.On 19 April 2010 19:10, Bob Clough parag0n@ivixor.net wrote:

I quickly(ish) made a layout based on Bob’s ideas earlier. Its by no
means definitive, and is probably not even to scale, but its something
to run off, alter, or altogether ignore :stuck_out_tongue:

http://hacman.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Physical_Hackspace/MadLab#Possible_Layout

That page also has Bob’s post from earlier if anyone wants to make any
alterations or aditions to it.

Ah, I saw that on Saturday - was about to wire the speaker level outputs
to wire the speaker level outputs to the vertical deflector coil of a
CRT when I thought better not in case it actually belonged to someone!

I didn’t see any speakers though, just the all-in-one unit.On Wed, 2010-04-21 at 15:03 -0700, Dave Mee wrote:
