Hi Adam, I had this same scenario happen to me when I first opened. With the desire to create community and a buzz I allowed a large team to occupy what should be a 2 person office. Then realized that at the end of their one year membership I would need to have some conversations about the use of the office. It was a hard conversations with a lot of "what ifs" like what if some is only here one day a week or 4 hours a week. I had to explain as you said the cost of having more people in the space. We did come to an agreement that it is a 2 person office with $50/person additional and that they would be responsible to decide what constitutes an additional member and what constitutes people coming in for meetings. You definitely want to get this defined early on.
Have a good one!
