Re: Looking for contacts related to STEM Facilities and Programs

First item of business is access. You really don't want to be hauling robots and powertools up in an elevator every time you need to move it. Try and get a ground-floor room.

Secondly is your power. You'll need to run powertools and large machinery depending, so being aware of what you need going in is important.

Thirdly, storage. You'll have a *lot* of old parts and tools. Storage, especially organized storage, can help a TON with this. Along the same vein, lots of workspace would definitely help any team, that way you're not shoving things off the table and losing them.

Fourthly, having two subspaces is going to be a lifesaver. Your programmers seldom want to hear the whirr of a bandsaw or drill, and likely will need to concentrate. Same goes for business and leaders.

Finally, and most importantly, get a place to hang your safety goggles right off the bat. You really don't want anyone to lose a very valuable eye.

Congrats on the new space, and good luck!
