My brother used to rent a some space in some building on Tulane near
Carrollton for band practice. I am not sure if it has what you need,
but it was something they could swing when we were in high school.

If you're interested, I can try to find out where this was.

And would this be a "club house" or a real "hackspace"? I think that
the guide sent out was pretty clear about having clear purpose and
rules. I can just see it getting out of hand pretty quickly,
especially for those people who might have family obligations. In
otherwords, you don't want the whole situation to seem "weird."
