VHS rented space from EHS in 2008, so technically that was the first rented space. VHS was there for several months, and moved out (some time in 2009). There was a server here for a little bit that Austin installed. | VHS rented space from EHS in 2008, so technically that was the first rented space.

We quickly outgrew this location and when the slightly larger space on the top floor became available we moved. One of the major projects that we did at this space was found and launch a sister organization called [[http:// | 45 west hastings was a small 500 sq wood floor studio where we were able to start collecting some small tools and equipment.

45 West Hastings (upper floor) was only 800 sq space but it gave us the opportunity to grow and collect even more tools and equipment. After 6 months at this location we grew to 75 members. Way too many people to fit into a small 800 sq studio and we started searching for a larger space. after a ~14 month search we found “The Bunker”. | 45 West Hastings (upper floor) was only 800 sq space but it gave us the opportunity to grow and collect even more tools and equipment.

We named the next space “The Shoebox”, after its former shoe-warehouse tenants. This space move brought us back to a more comfortable and social feeling space, with brightly painted walls, hardwood flooring, and a mirror-wall that stretches nearly the entire length of the space.

- | Our latest space has been named “The Mullet” as it has a couple of offices in the front and the back is a workshop. Business in the front, party in the back! It's 4000 sq/ft and it's pretty much ours to do what we want with - we have the entire building, and a 10-year lease so investing money in long-term plans is finally possible. | + | Our latest space has been named “The Mullet” as it has a couple of offices in the front and the back is a workshop.
