Based on the initial research, there are numerous spaces within the Bay Area that are suitable for setting up a hardware building hacker space. We recommend continuing with this research to provide an additional 50 spaces. Each space will be able to accommodate office spaces, warehouse and storage areas. We will provide each space's size, price, address and website link.
