Intro

This page should address how Free Geek's Facility might change over the next 3-5 years so that we can better fulfill our mission and live up to our principles.

Facilities
  • How did we get all this space?
5000 on 10th ave.(middle 1/3d)
-> 10000 added the whse (north 1/3d)
-> 15000 added the classroom and store (south 1/3d)
Space Usage
  • Space Usage Meetings
current plan and what it has grew out of
  • zoning
In the council meeting We decided on a Zoning structure for Free Geek
  • flow
The flow at Free Geek Jumps around alot. One idea to change this is the Lean Free Geek idea.

One suggestion is that we could get our own building.

  • we would have a better justification for some kinds of grants.
  • We would be better able to design the site plan for our needs

Another option is expanding into the upstairs space (to the north).

  • we would have more space to flex into
  • We are here every day so expanding in the space can happen over a long period of time.
