As far as physically, absolutely. There's loading docks, so I assume there's ample space for a computer workshop.
I don't know the exact square footage, and I didn't tour the whole facility. I know there's at least 2 classrooms that are much bigger than our own, and that SLHA is happy to let us use the space. As far as sharing the space with other organizations, I don't know if there is available room to put computer / bike parts, etc. > How about moving just the ByteWorks operation to their building? I thought about this today. The Guardian Angel center is going to be used by many different organizations. It wouldn't hurt to ask William from SLHA about this possibility. He & I are going to talk next week. Eduardo and I are going to talk tomorrow, so I'll bring it up with him about where to go next. --Nate On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 5:23 PM, Steve DeLorey <[email protected]> wrote: > Nate, > Eduardo and I will be meeting with a bank (IFF) and a foundation > (Youthbridge) tomorrow to talk about our options as far as facilities are > concerned.
