> Does anyone know what the max load the floors can handle is?

Not yet, lease has always mentioned talking to them when it exceeds 50 
pounds per square foot, but it could be a boilerplate. There was a MRI 
machine on one of the floors.

The building has 3-phase 220/230/240 (whatever it is). In our propable 
future space it's all 110/120 outlets, but lots of them. We don't really 
have anything that needs 3 phase power and I can't imagine anything in 
that space that would (really vertical mill drive motor is the only thing 
I can imagine?) I used to own an argon laser that was 3 phase but sold it 
a few years back.

The space upstairs has a heat pump system that is dedicated. So cooling 
doesn't seem like a bit deal. There probably won't be that many machines 
running all the time. It looks like it's a plenum return so we can 
probably just throw the heat with machines in a tight closet into the 
overhead.

Hell no. I said we could handle getting rid of the cube farm. I'd be happy 
if we could somehow get them to put a wider door in, and maybe let us 
slide on rent a bit to buy another access control panel for one of the 
doors downstairs to card access it.

HVAC is pretty nice in the space upstairs, and the windows all open.
