This is a tricky one. ALL of my experience with lockers is that they are a place where stuff gets put, and then left, and then forgotten about forever.  We removed our lockable storage options (school lockers specifically) because that only exacerbated the issue - we'd do annual cleanouts only

Let's revisit this in 2018/19 --- As we build out (we have limited open space by the desks -- are resident members preferring a cabinet at their desk or are they ok with a wall of a few small lockers? We wish to be prudent and not waste money or space on items that people do not use.

Hey Eli, 'For member's equipment, why not use regular lockers (ie, school lockers). There is a used office furniture store in Scarborough (Toronto) that will paint them to any color you want. Let me know if you would like their details. Neil On Nov 9, 10:48 am, Eli Malinsky

I second Neil's suggestion. School lockers are very practical and scaleable. They can also be woven into your economic/environmental sustainability story as an very visible example of material reuse. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 28, 2010, at 5:33 AM, CoWorkative adcommu...@gmail.com wrote:

Are the members asking for locking storage? I thought this would be an issue at the beginning so I bought 4 locking file cabinets. No one locks them and none of the members have asked for additional secure storage but this might just be our space+ it's always staffed when open so maybe that

I imagine this is one of the areas in which we are not really like a coworking space. But FWIW, I put their stuff in a box (those plastic storage boxes) and put it away when they leave and put it out for them when they come. Jeannine On Nov 9, 4:48 pm, Eli Malinsky e...@socialinnovation.ca

Hey all, Office Nomads chiming in. Similarly to others, we've got a set of lockers that are never locked. :) Classic. People asked for them a ton when we first opened, and we got them (also cheap from a reuse store in Seattle), and then mostly they got ignored. Every once and a while someone

We (at The Hacker Dojo) went with small lockers to start (for our electronics hobbyists - so they don't have to put a sensitive arduino board in their backpack - we have a lot of bike riders ) and for very small items (though that may not be as practical as we thought. We figure if you can carry

Maybe you could add 5 lockers and 10 cubbies. See which get used more and then base your decision on what your customers actually use the most. On Dec 11, 8:54 pm, Muskie and...@muschamp.ca wrote: So cowork...@bob is moving along.  We keep showing the space and we have our first paying
