In principle this sounds like a plan.

But The Arc is a school and this may have potential impact on access, 
(child protection issues, but we're out of hours, so ok?) but if that can 
be resolved (as well as the actual access - caretaker, alarm, etc.?) then 
it's fine by me. Might even be able to have a mini-hackspace too?
