Physical space requirements

There are three tiers to our space requirements. Tier 1 are things we absolutely must have. Tier 2 are things we really, really want but are not essential. Tier 3 are things we dream to have but likely won't find.

The idea is when we are scouting locations, we confirm the Tier 1s with the landlord before bringing the space back to the group.

For more info on locations, see the candidate locations page!
