The Building
- It's a 22,000 sq ft building, built as a meeting hall for the Ligure Club in 1933, on Shattuck and 48th. After decades serving as a social hub for members of the Oakland Scavengers club, appropriately enough, a garbage collecting collective, it was transformed into the Omni, a music venue featuring mostly heavy metal and rock that provides the namesake for this project.
Space Features
- a appx 4,000 sq ft, 2 story ballroom / event space with mezzanine
- an industrial kitchen & walk-in freezer (needs fixing up)
- a massive back room with capacity for vertical expansion
- 55'-ish ceilings
- massive basement with windows above street level (currently blacked out)
- a separate room that used to function as a disco (with lighted floor)
- a warren of odd little rooms, a stage, lots of bathrooms, skylights throughout
Price/Sq Ft
Distribution of Space
Tentative Distribution of Space (Not final, will likely change!)
- Sudo Room: Half bocce ball court room
- BAPS: mobile units - based out of a balcony room in the ballroom, having classes in unused space around the building as needed
- Timless, Infinite Light: 2nd floor, Balcony room above bar, on corner of Shattuck / 48th (NE corner)
- HackerSpa Wellness Center: Cluster of rooms between bar and bocce ball court room
- Counter Culture Labs: Half bocce ball court room
- Food Not Bombs: Shares basement industrial kitchen & food storage area with cafe-bookstore, hopefully serve food too upstairs to the community - either in the cafe, or the ballroom, etc
- La Commune Cafe & Bookstore: Bar area
- Live Space: Disco room in back (NW corner)
- Oakland Nights Live: Uses ballroom area for performances, some storage in the building somewhere
- Celluloid Processing Labs: Part of the basement
- Creative Empowerment Project: Part of basement (screenprinting gear)
- Schedule-able shared spaces around the building
- Ballroom (scheduled mostly as per current Common room)
- Parts of the basement
- Bookstore / Cafe
Use of Space
- How do we envision using the space?
- To collaborate on projects
- To host classes and performances
- To network, meet each other, welcome newcomers
- To store resources for common use (or equitably restricted)
- Concerns about use of space
- Will there be commercial activity in the space?
- Yes, bookstore/cafe will operate as businesses
- will profit-sharing be required of profitable endeavors?
- Ideally, consensus can be reached that profitable endeavors can help to subsidize rent/mortgage/property taxes
- Will there be commercial activity in the space?
