Samistine: Braves stadium has occured

This is meant to be a collection of information about the features, operation, and maintenance of our workspace.

== Location ==
The Maker Station is located in the Cumberland Point Business Park off of Highway 41, immediately across from the runways at Dobbins Air Force Base. We are just a short distance to Cumberland Mall and new new Braves Stadium (2017). There are numerous restaurants, shops and retail locations in the surrounding area.
 '''Address:''' [https://goo.gl/eJZR6c 1700 Cumberland Point Dr, Suite 24, Marietta, GA 30067]

==== Equipment ====
Visit the [[Equipment]] page for details

== Access to the Space ==
If you would like to visit the space, the best way is to attend an open house or other event as published on our [http://www.meetup.com/Cobb-County-Makers-Meetup/ Meetup page]. This is the best way to find which events are scheduled in the space. You may find members there at other hours, but since you never can tell, your best bet is to check the calendar. Once you join and become a member of the space, you will be given a lockbox code to allow you to access a key to the facility. You can use this to come and go as needed to work on your own projects and make use of the space. You will need to adhere to the guidelines around ingress/egress to ensure a safe and enjoyable working environment.

== Entry/Exit ==
During open house or scheduled events, guests can enter/exit as they wish. Members accessing the space at other times, should log your entry and exit time on the sign-in sheet. The sign-in sheet is on a clipboard hanging on the wall behind the main door from the street. Please make sure you sign in and out so we have a log of activity and traffic in the space. Future projects may augment/replace this procedure, but for now, this is how we will access the space.
When leaving, if you are the last one out, make sure the lights are off, and that all doors are locked.

== Rollup Door ==
There is a rollup door in back to provide access for larger equipment and supplies. It can be accessed by driving around the building. Watch out for large trucks and loading dock traffic. Do not park/leave your vehicle unattended at the loading dock area. Make sure the rollup door is secured and the rear personnel door is locked when not in use.

== Lights ==
To conserve power usage for the space, please turn off unnecessary lights in the space. Please use lights as needed for safety and project work, but turn them off when finished. When leaving make sure all lights are out.

== Bathroom ==
There is a bathroom on the left as you walk through the space from the front door. Please help take care of this facility and report any maintenance issues immediately. We are all responsible for keeping this area clean and sanitary. There is no cleaning service.

== The Train ==
*sigh* --- do you miss it already?

== Usage and Maintenance ==
We are all part of this community and as we use the space, things will get messy. Please take time to put your projects away as best you can and clean up any messes or safety hazards (even if they are not your own) so that we can keep this an enjoyable place for everyone. Members will have storage bins for their use. Guests should take any of their project materials with them when they leave. The space is there to be used by the members. We do not need committee to decide to move a table. If you need to rearrange something for a project, go ahead. However, if you are considering significant changes, please discuss it with one of the board members. Do not permanently mar/damage/attach things to the physical walls and space without first discussing it with the board members. That's not to stifle your creativity, we just need to make sure that everyone is on the same page.

<h1>'''Welcome to The Maker Station!'''
 
-- Marietta's Makerspace --
</h1>
The Maker Station Inc, Cobb County's finest makerspace / hackerspace, is a collaborative, shared workspace (makerspace / hackerspace) northwest of Atlanta, GA. Here curious and like-minded folks come together to work on projects, discover new areas of interest, develop a new business idea, or simply grow their personal hobbies. The makerspace is a 100% volunteer driven 501c3 non-profit corporation. We are a valuable resource for Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and surrounding metro areas. We started our journey in 2014 to build a makerspace close to home and welcome all interested community members to help grow and shape this makerspace / hackerspace into a thriving, collaborative environment.
