We’re moving!
York Hackspace has found a new home! We’re moving to Redeness Street! It’s really close to the town centre, and to York St John University. It’s a much bigger space, we’re going from 300 square feet (28 square metres) to 820 square feet (76 square metres)! We’re going to have two rooms too, we hope to separate some of our loud and dirty equipment from the rest of the space, to enhance opportunities for quiet socialising. It’s going to feel much more spacious. I’ve drawn the area of the old space on top of the floorplan of the new space to give you an idea of just how much bigger it is. It’s also entirely ground-floor! Our old space is on the first floor of a rather old building. It was built without a lift, and hasn’t had one retrofitted, so we’ve been limited by the stairs. In the new space this will no longer be an issue! Not only does that mean it’s easier getting equipment in, but, more importantly, we’re now much more accessible. If you’ve been interested in coming to the Hackspace, but were unable to use the stairs, we’re excited that we’ll soon be able
