So, I've been involved in a couple of makerspaces in the London area and see that there are many different uses for a shared community space that encourages the next generation of making.

What I would love to see in the next generation of RML:

  • Technical workshop
    • Electronics Lab
    • Computer 'tinkering' area
    • Laser Cutting
    • 3D Printing
    • Wood & Lightweight Metalwork Shop
  • Creative workshop
    • Sewing / knitting machines
    • Space for non-toxic painting / dyeing / forming
  • Meeting / Teaching / Incubating Space
    • Flexible space that can be used for incubating new startups
    • Classroom style space that can be used to teach new skills
  • Food preparation facility (Not a full-fledged kitchen)
  • Administrative / Infrastructure (Power/Gas/Network) room
  • Member project storage lockers

I understand the value of having a garage for repairing cars, but car ownership continues to decrease and space needed for 'doing stuff' increases.
