Winter Indoor Help- flooring

[koots]

Hoping some people with experience doing indoor spaces can help out.

We have a small space that is the old wood shop of a former school. 

The flooring is hardwood that has been unkept for about 15-20 years.  It is really slick...like...really really slick.

We have a few ideas but no one really knows for sure what to do:

1. Screw and glue 1/4 inch hardboard to the flooring (expensive and lots of work)

2.  sand the floor and varnish it?

Any help would be rad!

Vacuum it, then Mop it repeatedly a few times, soapless! Keep rinsing the mop water from the bucket to remove dust and dirt from it.
Woodshops are all sorts of dusty and remain dusty beyond a cleaning.

I'd say if you wanted to do it cheap then think about a lightly textured paint, nothing to coarse but nothing to smooth, just enough to give a concrete type of grip feel.
They should have paint test samples of how it'd feel. You can add fine sand grit to most paint. Talk to a pro paint shop about it, they will guide you.

This would wrob be your cheapest easiest longest lasting bet. Save the rest of your $$ for skate shit.

this might work and is damn cheap....

Coke is kind of a temporary solution though...and a nasty one at that.
Works best on masonite.
