Re: facilities

Please don't discount the use of a building "off campus". By locating such a space you may no longer be constrained to using your space when the school is open, etc. By having meetings at a central location, possibly during the evening hours, you may be able to attract more mentors willing to work with your team. Look in your community for an empty warehouse or storefront which is located in a decent area (especially if you will be there working at night). If it has been empty for a while, see if your local zoning board/town council, etc. can help you contact the real estate company. Town officials would probably like to see the building occupied rather than sit empty, and you may be able to get the space rent-free as a tax write-off for the real estate company.
