I also wanted to share a sketch of what CCL and Sudo Room could do with the bocce ball court in order to contain the CCL lab areas, ensure they are dust free and secure, and connect to the existing plumbing and water lines. I suggest CCL enclose two rooms and use a staircase to turn the roof of the rooms into a lounge. The rest of the space would contain sudo room. Curious to hear what ya'll think!


We probably won't be able to put in any load bearing walls or pillars without a building permit, but a mezzanine along the existing walls might work - and wouldn't block too much skylight.

Something like a commercial greenhouse structure may work to provide a dust-free space, and probably wouldn't require a building permit if it's free-standing. Commercial packages seem to range from around $4/sqft for a simple plastic sheet covered tunnel, to $18/sqft and up for a polycarbonate greenhouse that would be a bit less of a fire hazard. Presumably DIYable for much less...

Of course, any of this would be for well past move-in. For now, going from a small back room with a mold issue to 1/2 of a giant space with a bit of dust would still be a huge improvement. ;-)
