- | The flooring in G1 is rapidly deteriorating. At the 2019 AGM, it was decided that the floor needs to be fixed: Alfie was appointed to organise fixing the floor in G1, which means deciding how to fix it and wrangling members into fixing | + | The floor was painted. It's a bit rubbish, but it's no longer as horrendously dusty as it was previously. |
- | Alfie knows next to nothing about floors, so this wiki page chronicles Alfie Learning These Things And Fixing The Floor, Hopefully. | ||

- | ===== What's there now? ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The floor in G1 appears to be a concrete slab with a top layer of linoleum. If it was intact it'd be quite suitable - easy to clean and relatively robust. The floor in G1 however was installed in, like, the 80s or something, and so has fallen to bits in the intervening time. | ||
- | |||
- | G1's floor area is 9.1M x 4.2M = 38.22M² | ||

- | ====== What have other spaces done? ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Revspace changed their flooring a while ago. | ||
