Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful fundraising, purchase and installation of proposed hardware. This hardware will support the work of all 150 of our artist/members. Safety and reliability will be improved, we expect 99% uptime from the new hardware. Equipment issues and outages will be tracked and reported as they are today; we should see a significant reduction in problems. Artist/members and students will be informally polled to gather feedback on these shop improvements.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Long term benefits of this equipment include: Continued ability to maintain a professional glass studio that is relatively affordable for students, members and guests. We continue to be one of the least expensive facilities in the country. Increased capacity for work in support of our demonstrations, classes and renters. Improved reliability, safety and professionalism.
