What we have: an empty grocery store warehouse area with hand tools+ grinder and drill press. We also have access to a community college machine shop, and one of our sponsors is a machine shop. We used to work in an old machine shop with only the grinders and a bad drill press (and the sponsor's shop).

I'm going to say hand tools and some basic machines, plus enough space to build the key field elements (probably about half the field; if less space is used, make it narrow instead of short). Oh yeah, and some space for computers and secure tool storage.
