I might just burn my good deed cards here but I believe my request is solid, needed and logical for the space.
I’m proposing the following.
- Purge the majority (and I do mean majority) of the items in the storage room located behind the white shelves in the interactive room.
- Repair the lights, install a camera and drops (not difficult because of the server room location)
- Build out a wall to section off that into an independent room - now utilizing the other door as the entrance and exit.
- Place the Adobe computer, Epson printer and Epson printer computer in that room in an organized and functional way creating a private/cleaner workspace for digital users.
Notes:
- Based on my measurements I do believe the ever important passion filled item of the ping pong table could still be stored in that room.
- The vinyl computer/vinyl cutter would currently stay in the room to facilitate the dye sublimation printer/vinyl cutter/cameo software and embroidery software.
- You can’t move into the new by clinging onto the old. We must move into the mindset that things here can’t be fixed and we must open ourselves up to new ideas.
- I believe creative arts has proven itself to make thoughtful effective decisions in this space. I could get this project done quickly (I would need help building a wall) and I believe the end project would be a positive example.
Why:
The footprint of two desks serving computers is singular and serves only a few at a time larger work tables are needed to accommodate our growing classes and will serve more members needs for the creative arts room.
The current state of the storage isn’t designed for maximum function, is an eyesore, and could be utilized better to meet the needs of our members.
In the room created by the moving of the computers I see the ability to create at least one more workstation/table that would accommodate creative arts growing needs/allow for an independent work area for digital users and create a better workflow for everyone involved.
I did want to give the computers to digital arts at one time and the members of CA committee voted against it. For the record this isn’t that issue. We are simply talking about creating a workspace out of a underutilized room.
