Design One
This design has 4 rooms. The original space that we have to work with had 5 rooms. But I've turned 2 of the small rooms into 1 room that would be used for displaying finished art products. Also that room is used to unload the trucks. So when a truck unloads something, it goes on the rail and it moves into the room and onto the shelf which would have side sliders to slide the objects away so other objects may be unloaded. The "bathroom" isn't a bathroom but instead it is where the first aid packs are. Also the "bathroom" contain hand washes. The "bathroom" is more like a clinic. It is used to treat injured people. The big room in the middle is the room where the students would work in. It has a big round table and 5 square tables. The big round tables are there so people don't get left out. It can also be used as a group meeting place. The 5 square tables are there because students like to hang out in groups and some of them would want to be together and alone so then they have the 5 square tables. The room has 2 emergency showers, 4 tool storages, an eye washing utility and a white board. It has sliding doors which connects to the last room on the right. But I did not draw the sliding doors though. The last room on the right is a storage room. It has 2 unfinished work storages and 2 emergency showers in 2 corners. The room has 2 main entrances. One that leads into the working room and one that leads into the storage room. I did not include any emergency exits as the main entrances are big. There are windows all around the building. I have not included a fire hose. A change that I will make. Also the windows are really big so a lot of light could come in and the big windows allows better air ventilation.

There storage room has shelves all around. The middle room has a display area in the middle with 2 tables on each sides. The tables has benches all around it. The last room on the right has a display area and another table with a bench all around it. This room has a hand wash area and an eye-washing utility. The building has windows all around it. It also only has 2 main entrances, 1 to the middle room and the other to the last room on the right.
Design 003
This design consists of 5 rooms. 2 of the small rooms are display areas. The other room is a bathroom. The display rooms has 7 tables all together and a shelf. There are doors that connect the display rooms to each other and there are doors that connects them to the middle room. In the middle room there are 2 hand washes, a first aid kit and an emergency shower. This room serves as a storage room also as there are safety equipment storages, tools storages and unfinished work storages in the middle of the room. The "storage" room has a big door that connects it to the last room which serves as a working space. The "working" space has a big table with chairs around it and a big octagon table with tables around it. This room has a white board. It also has a first aid kit and an emergency shower in one corner. This room is connected to the truck unloading rail. This allows students to get their supplies in their working space. The building has 2 main entrances. One is connected to the "working" room and one is connected to the "storage" room. The design has windows all around the building.
