Classroom Tools

I have looked through some threads and I haven't seen one recently (within the past year or two) that has what I am looking for. We are essentially a classroom team. We work in a hallway at school or in our head mentor's classroom which is quite undersized as he has an attached lab so his room is much smaller. Other local teams have come to events at our school and asked "Can we use your shop" while in our schools hallway and we have to regretfully tell them that they are standing in it.

That being said, we are actually possibly (Don't count your chickens before they're hatched) acquiring slightly more space this upcoming year! As a result, we can possibly obtain more permanent and effective tools than a drill press and a chop saw.

My question for you is:

What are your teams essential tools that you have in your work spaces that would be compatible with a classroom working environment? If you have specific recommendations on a brand, model or supplier please include those.

Thank you!

EDIT: We are possibly (same stipulations as earlier) acquiring a 3D Printer for next season.
