Building Rules
All members must abide by the rules set by our landlord, Meridian Studios. Breaking these rules could put the Hackspace’s tenancy at risk. Meridian Studios' rules have precedence over Hackspace rules.
Forecourt / Parking
Do not park on the forecourt, park on the street. The forecourt spaces are rented to other tenants of the building.
Hackspace only has use of the space directly in front of our roller shutter. This is for doing stuff and loading/unloading, not for parking.
Bicycle Storage
There is a secure bicycle storage facility behind the building. This is provided to support folks who want to cycle in, not as a storage opportunity for your spare bikes.
Upstairs
Please give the other tenants of the building their privacy and refrain from poking around upstairs. The facilities upstairs are not intended for the use of Hackspace members.
Please don't try and store anything in the upstairs communal areas, or the entryway, including bicycles.
Security
Always check that the outer door latches behind you when entering or leaving the building.
Do not leave the roller shutter or fire escape door open and unattended for long periods.
If you are the last one out, ensure the roller shutter, fire escape, and windows are closed before leaving.
Waste
We can make reasonable use of the building's skip (kept around the corner on Queen Victoria Street), but must be careful not to totally fill it with Hackspace waste. The bin in collected weekly on Tuesday.
Note that the building's waste is managed by a private firm, and the recycling rules are not the same as Bristol Council!
The skip can take general waste, and some recycling. It is not for:
- Wood.
- Glass.
- Soiled items.
- Food waste.
