The trouble is that, particularly knowing which building you're talking about, Matt, is that most of the easy solutions aren't terribly cheap, and it'll be a fight to get the money spent for it. I remember the losing battle I went through trying to get the LX console down in the house for focus when I was there, and that was a one man carry, two down the stairs. The boss man just didn't want us moving it. [shrug]
Without knowing exactly how big the new console is, the easiest solution would be to see if you can find a rolling cart it will fit on and make space for it back in the cage, just like where the old one lived. If you need mics for small "talking head" events, just leave 'em patched in back there so it just needs to be powered up . Then when there's an event, roll it out front, patch it in, and put it away at the end of the night. Leave the cable runs out.
We always left it out in the house when I was there, but then again, it wasn't a nice pretty new console, either.
The ideal solution for a bigger console, is to get a real case for it with a doghouse, and then get a console tipper. The case has wheels on the lid, and the tipper goes on the side of this and actually tips the console, in the case, up so that the tipper and the case act as a table. The lid goes away, and you leave the console in the bottom of the case. Of course, this is way overkill for a 24x8, but I'm throwing it out there for completeness.
