Will you have a shop telephone? If so, make sure you can put it somewhere that won't be too noisy.

One of the mentors and hard working students' pet peaves is other students coming to robotics to do their homework. Homework is meant for working on at home, not while the mentors are staying late at robotics to help build the robot. The mentors are there to work on the robot, not to be baby sitters for students.
I wish our government had this much money like yours, to spend on schools like this for your great education systems. Oh wait...
I definitely like having designated areas for assembly, machining, electrical wiring, programming, practice and other stuff. These suggestions are great and i wish my team had that oppurtunity to customize shops like that.
