Space Access

- What are the "open hours"? What is the schedule of classes / meetings?
- Instead of "open hours" (too vague - suggests open to the public) have "quiet hours" from 10pm - 10am
- Proposal:

- Zach "your neighborhood hermit" Houston available on-call to let people in
- Lock up procedure for the end of the night: 2 people to sweep the space, turn off lights and lock all doors.

- Quiet Hours: 10pm - 10am
