Keeping KnOwhere Enviornments

Keeping KnOwhere Environments

Maintenance • Upgrades • Stewardship & Evolution •
• End State Design •

The purpose of this page is three fold. To document our use and development of the KnOwhere spaces. To capture our future plans and ambitions. The Hilton Head Store is about 40% finished; the Palo Alto Store about half done. The third is to provide project management information on the many ongoing projects that constitute our present upgrade path.

Both Stores are enjoying heavier use and the general, financial improvement of the Enterprise means that it is now possible - and necessary - to move closer to our “end state” model.

...Hilton Head Store:

We have rented additional space at Hilton Head and opened that space to our original facility. At the present time, this addional space is underutilized because it is chopped up in a conventional mannor.

Over the last 18 months we have lacked the funds to redo the space. If we are to make Hilton Head vialbe, we have to expand its capibility. KnO hh 200 is necessary work to sort out the options, costs and timing aspects necessary to moving forward.

Develop Build Out Plans for Additional Space
& Remodeling of Existing


	Activity - KnO hh 200	Jerry’s electronic drawings have to be found, translated to Canvas and sent to Matt (bb); Drawings revised (mt); Plan review by entire KnOwhere community (all); Design Development (MT); Pricing and Plan review (so).
	Date Started	January 3, 2000
	Date Due	March 1, 2000
	Owners	Patsy K., Lori B., Matt T., Skip O.
	Completion Spec	We have an adequate set for Building department plan check and contractor pricing. We understand the different options that we may have so that we can move forward, incrementally, as money is available. This step by step path has to be possible without too much disruption and money waste.
	Status	There is a partially finished set of drawings that Jerry Headly did in 1988.

There are a number of short and mid-term projects that have to be executed at the Hilton Head Store. They will be listed ASAP. e-mail me if you have any in mind.

...Palo Alto Store

The Palo Alto Sore has a near infinite number of projects that need doing. The most critical relate to getting the Second Floor level up to full capability. When the Store opened, two years ago, there was was not sufficient capital to do this. Because of this we have had minimal use and only modest success with this aspect of our program.

Now however, market demand and our growing financial health is converging to make a new opportunity. We are attracting a great mix of ValueWeb members and incubation programs. Proper use of our Second Floor resource can pay a big chunk of our Overhead, in the short term, and provide significant Capital Growth (through the Incubation work) over a two to three year period.

Install Glass Wall Between flypaper.com
and Radiant Room


	Activity - KnO pa 200	Confirm Wall pieces (jg); Get list of installer companies from manufacturer (js); develop Head, Sill, Jamb detail (MT); Estimate costs (JG, JS); Locate money (Js); Supervise installation (jg); Color selection (MT); Coordinate painting process (jg); Coordinate with KnOwhere people and flypaper.com (Js);

	Owners	Jeff S., Matt T., John G.
	Completion Spec	Blocking complete at Head; painting of Sill and balcony railing done prior to glass being set; Jamb detail determined and trim installed at round column. Work to be done before and not disturb the start of the February 2 EA DesignShop® event.
	Status	Wall components are in our storage unit. None of us have installed this wall before. We will need help with the physical work part of it, as well as, some of the technical aspects. Money for installation labor, painting and some materials is required. This is critical. Time is extremely short. This is a complex little project and should not be underestimated.

Plants, books for the shelves, artifacts - make this photo-ready.
	Status	We have completed the basic layout - we need to refine it and finish it. Cube Office elements are here but are not assembled.

This is time critical - too much time has passed.

These projects, (knO pa 200 - 206) will bring the Second Floor up to a useful, credible and profitable level for the first time.
