 Free Geek does have the option of growing the amount of real estate that it currently rents in the next year. General consensuses around Free Geek is that Renting more with out removing the clutter from what we currently have is a really bad idea.

 : Free Geek will continue to rent the 15,000 square feet that it currently rents. In the next 3 to 5 years we will have raised money through fund drives and securing grants so that we can purchase our own building.

-: Starting about a year after we acquired the south part of the building we started having official meetings on space usage. They started slow. Then the council, in December of 2006 came up with a [[Zoning]] structure for Free Geek. Not long after We started having Space usage meeting every week or two. In space usage we attempt to adjust the floor plan of Free Geek to Meet the zoning requirements, create a better flow of items through the building, and to create a cleaner-saver-comfortable environment for the community of volunteers.

 === Trends and predictions ===
-Free Geek is Trending towards a more modularized set up. One example of this modularization is the use of rolling storage for the finished computers. We will, some day, get the point where we will out grow our building or its feasibility for change in layout.
