Practical Information for VISITING THE SPACE

We are open many evenings as keys are available to all our members. Currently IRC (techinc@OFTC) is the easiest place to see if anyone is planning to open on any particular evening. We also have an open social evening at the space every Wednesday from 7pm.

The current state of the space is visible on our homepage at http://techinc.nl or in our android app (available from the market or github).

There is also a SpacePhone that can be reached at: ''landline' +31 85 201 6320'

Please call one of the above numbers when you are downstairs and require someone to open the door for you.

Other data

Most of the space has a lowered ceiling, hiding ventilation and other ducts. it's about 1 meter lower than the actual ceiling (2.8m vs 3.8m high). It's made of white/beige tiles of metal, suspended from the ceiling. It stops about a meter? short from the north wall (right on the map).
The lowered ceiling also has bright TL-Lights mounted on them, which is currently the only light in the main area.
The south wall, has three doors, giving access to our two smaller spaces and a door to the maintance/duct shaft, the latter space cannot be actively used by us, but contains sewage and water tubing we might be able to use.
The south wall is made of one layer of compacted black stone and a layer of bricks, the north and west walls seem to be two layer plasterboards, either empty in between of filled with isolation material?
The south wall also features a red box where there used to be a firehose, it's build into the compacted stone layer of the wall, and has one hole going towards the maintance/duct shaft.
The east wall (bottom on the floorplan), is mainly window, starting about 90~100cm from the floor and stopping about 30cm before the lowered ceiling. The last 30cm are wooden panels.
The west (top) wall connects to the hallway and one of our neighbours, features one door to the exit. It also has a whole near top connecting to our neighbours which needs to be fixed due to noise issues.
The floor has carpet everywhere
The small space on the east (bottom) side, has a row of RJ45 and power sockets on the wall, just below the window, besides that there are only a few power sockets in the space (but both smaller rooms have power and rj45 sockets)
On the east side, the floor above us extends a bit by a meter? or so from our most easter wall, extending north and south, this 'outdoor' ceiling starts at the same height as where our windows stop. The space between this outdoor ceiling is 'accessible' and is mainly empty or used for ducts, this space goes up to our real ceiling.
We have neighbouring spaces on the north and west walls, no one moved in yet in the space north (right) of us.
