During build season, we built in our school's physics lab. It was a classroom, with desks and lab tables, and for storing our tools and other stuff, we had to use a closet that was roughly 5' X 8'. During build season, we moved the desks around and out of our way so we had more of a workspace, and at the end moved them all back if there was school the next day. If it was a Friday or Saturday, we just left them there. haha We left at least half an hour at the end of a build day that was a school night just for cleaning up and putting the room back in order for the next day. Sometimes on really nice days, we would take the tools outside to work because we wouldn't have to clean up as much dust, particles, or filings as we would have to inside. Later on in the build season though, the weather had gotten worse and so we were stuck inside for the the days and just moved all the desks out of the way and sometimes even had to stack them because of the space.
Shortly after build season ended, our new science building was finally opened so now we have two rooms there, one about 10' X 10', I'm not sure on dimensions, and another that is about 8' X 10' for tools. Our main room, the bigger one, is filled, tools, carbon fiber,
the desks, 2 computers, a cart, two shelves, a desk, and our robot from this year and last year. Only 3-4 people can fit in there, and that is if two are sitting at the computers. It's nice, but we still like working out in the hallway for building or we go outside in the school parking lot.
Working outside on a nice day is always good and relaxing, getting fresh air, except when it's raining and then that's a bad idea.
Good luck finding a good workplace. A physics lab isn't all that bad.
