The idea of having a dedicated venue for #OpenScience, akin to Dagstuhl and Oberwolfach, would be amazing, wouldn't it?
We could use this place to create systemic change, allow exhausted researchers to reboot, run hackathons, summer schools, seminars, workshops, or celebrate our achievements in improving the quality of research... 💭

I think there is no problem with having both
I have seen Universities locking down Services for Students. 24hr access disappeared in many computer pools. Rooms for students became "bookable" and they vanished to make place for offices.
More and more doors are locked, class rooms not accessible to learn is the norm nowadays
My university has a room (planned) utilization rate that is insane. Efficient some say, no room for others others do

And everyone nowadays knows what a hackerspace is.
Why not get something for open science running?
Hubs where practioners and science meet.
We see a lot of startup places at universities too. They have offices, skilled staff, and are often still half way scientists as they spin off.
Yet science does not pay rent, and hence this is all private stuff that they hope will pay off one day
I have once seen a student house at TU-Graz, build from Student fees, that fits @HeidiSeibold
