Our market will be held on floor D of the Te Ara Hihiko building. We're going to have to work within the limitations of the space alongside sharing with others. Some aspects of this room that may work for or against us:
Floor
The floor of the whole room is concrete, some parts with carpeting laid on top. This is solid, flat, and good for stability. However, it's also hard and potentially dangerous for physical activity. We also need to check before using any adhesives on it, as they may not come off.
Walls
The room is long and relatively thin, with not much flat walling. One side is entirely window, which we could potentially work with. The other side varies between whiteboard and textured walls. This side is also broken up by gaps leading into the hallway. There are also sliding pinboard walls that can separate up the room, which should prove helpful.
Whiteboards
Many of the walls are fitting with ceiling height whiteboards, and there are other portable ones around that we could borrow if we wished.
Projector and Screens
The presentation area of the floor has a large projector screen, and there are also a couple of other large monitors we could borrow and use to show video or other stuff from a computer. These could come in handy for our story telling, though the presentation space is probably going to be highly contested by other groups.
Lighting
Due to the large amount of windows, the whole floor will be pretty light throughout the market, assuming they aren't blocked out by other stalls. If we want a dark space, we'd have to either secure the presentation space or make our own enclosed room.
Wi-Fi
Though the building does have wifi, it won't be reliable if a lot of people are trying to use it at once, so we should make sure our stall doesn't rely on internet access.
Ceiling
The ceiling had many places we could hang things off, though due to the amount of wiring and the height of the room, this needs to be done with a uni technician.
