Opening the Space

As a member opening the space for an event, you have the collective responsibility to keep the space clean, inviting, and usable for your fellow members and guests.

Opening Checklist

  • Tidy the space:
    • Throw out food waste and collect recycling.
    • Put away equipment and tools not likely to be needed to make room for relevant projects and guests.
    • Clear work surfaces and arrange chairs as needed.
  • Ensure the space doesn't have too much trash before you open. If there is, consider throwing them out, but only if it is safe to do so.
  • Adjust lighting and music as needed before the event.
  • Put out the e-ink panel, direction magnets, and sign board if needed.
    • Make sure the sign is displaying correctly (the timestamp matches). It may need power cycling or even charging.
  • Prop open the entrance door for open events.
