[hackerspaces] Hacker Space Sizes

[Robert Ward]

Hey All,

I'm with Arch Reactor, we're trying to get a space started here in
Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.  We're looking at a lot of different
spaces right now, but we're trying to figure out how much space we'd
need.  I talked with PS:One in Chicago, and they counseled me that
they had quickly outgrown their ~2000 sq. ft. space.  This is
Missouri, so space isn't at that much of a premium, and around here
you tend to pay more for location and the finish of the building.  So
having said all that, how big of a space should we be looking at?
Should we think about just the size, or is there some rule-of-thumb
sq. ft. per member rule we could go by?

I skimmed the archives, and couldn't find anything on this topic, but
I apologize if it's a discussion that's already happened.

Thanks,

~Bob
