757 Labs was a 3800 square foot hackerspace located in Norfolk, Virginia. It was only a few miles away by car from Hampton, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth and Chesapeake. It was a block away from Granby street, with a number of bars and eateries accessible by foot. The front faces the new light rail tracks, with stations being built a few blocks away.
