General Questions
1. How many students are expected in each art classroom?
3D: up to 32 students
2D: up to 32 students
2. Prep Rooms:
How are they used? storage and prep rooms are used to store equipment and materials
and to store some projects as they are being worked on (e.g., drying racks for in-process
paintings).
Do they require any sinks or other special equipment? Drying racks for paintings. Large
deep storage lockers for materials and equipment. Large vertical sheet-goods storage for
mat board, foam core, various sheet goods. Large flat file or shelving storage for
oversize paper, etc.
Particular types of storage? see above
Accessible to students? yes, with permission of instructor and at start and end of class to
retrieve projects.
3D Studio Classroom
1. Work Tables:
size, height, and quantity? 72" length x 42" width x 30" height, heavy duty work table
identical to the ones we currently use in H6.
Do kids use stools or chairs? stools (18" height) It would be nice to get a better quality
stool than the one we currently have – they tend to break quite easily and we are often
having to have them repaired.
2. Damp Storage cabinets:
lineal footage of shelving and depth? Damp storage cabinets like these would be ideal:
http://www.baileypottery.com/tables-racks/studiofurniture.htm However, these may be
prohibitively expensive, and it is possible to have the studio function with regular non-
sealed industrial storage cabinets minimum 36” wide x 24” deep by 84” height, with
adjustable shelving. Ideally there would be 12 – 15 linear feet of this type of cabinet
(e.g., 5 cabinets at 36” wide each).
3. Sinks:
a. Quantity? 2 sinks - one large ceramic studio sink with multiple faucets plus another
deep sink elsewhere in the room.
b. minimum size/depth?
Ceramic studio sinks should be plumbed with industrial traps to isolate ceramic
sediments - there are specific sinks and plumbing equipment to use in these sorts of
applications - examples at http://www.baileypottery.com/studioaccessories/glecotrap.htm
Ceramic sink should be extra wide and long to accommodate cleaning of larger tools and
equipment and 14” masonite bats used in wheel throwing. Deep sink should be 36” x 22”
x 10” deep.
4. Please elaborate on 3D tool use and requirements for them:
a. compressed air - any compressed air items could be added after the initial construction
and handled with a portable compressor and tools.
b. electrical – each room should have several separate 20 amp breakers so that, for
instance, it is possible to run several hair dryers and/or heat guns at the same time
without tripping a breaker. Kilns are 208V single-phase, see below for additional kiln
considerations – we have three and should plan for 4 – this will impact electrical supply
considerations. A larger front-loading 8 cubic foot kiln may have to be wired for 3-phase
power – this should be specified ahead of time.
c. venting/heating – an industrial quality air cleaner for the 3D studio is a consideration.
Class procedures emphasize minimizing clay dust but it is an environmental concern.
High temperature ceramic kilns need code-specific venting, and examples of systems to
vent multiple kilns can be seen at: http://www.baileypottery.com/kilns/fumeventsys.htm
The HV systems should be given careful consideration and designed to accommodate
the active art-making activities that will occur in the rooms and to minimize the problems
we have consistently had in the H wing with overheating during the hot periods.
Additionally , the 3D room should have a slab roller
(http://www.baileypottery.com/slabrollers/drd2.htm#Mini)
a wedging table (http://www.baileypottery.com/tables-racks/tablesracks.htm#Wedging)
a clay extruder (http://www.baileypottery.com/extruders/stdextruders.htm)
a pug mill (http://www.baileypottery.com/pugmills-mixers/baileypugmills.htm)
5. Kilns
a. Location: inside/outside, and if inside, do they need their own room? They should be
located inside, directly accessible to the classrooms. The room they are located in can
be incorporated into the prep area for ceramic work – ideally as ceramic work goes
through the drying process it moves from damp cabinets to staging in the kiln room itself
where it becomes bone dry before firing.
b. Size of kilns Four kilns – we currently have two at 7 cubic feet each and one at 3 cubic
feet and should consider installing a larger front-loading kiln with 8 cubic foot capacity to
accommodate the extra classes devoted to ceramics.
c . Kiln work storage rack: size, depth, lineal footage of shelving? Between 24 and 30
linear feet of shelving, 18” deep and 72” in height. Should be heavy-duty industrial
shelving as it will be used to store large weight capacity of raw clay in bags and finished
ceramic ware. Open shelving is preferable (not cabinets).
2D Studio Classroom
1. Sinks:
a. Quantity? 3 double sinks
b. minimum size/depth? 2D room sinks should be double sinks, 36" long x 22" wide x 10"
depth
2. Storage space
a. enclosed/open? Open flat horizontal storage racks for student work, with a total of 210
single storage racks 25” wide by 24” deep by 6” high. (7 periods x 30 students per period
= 210 storage spaces.) (We have a version of this type of storage shelving in the H6
room that could benefit from design improvements but will give an idea of what we need.)
b. lineal footage of shelving, depth 25 – 30 linear feet of storage racks, 24” deep and 96”
in height. Enclosed cabinets are preferable, as opposed to open shelving. Additionally,
we should duplicate the above-counter and below counter storage capacity of the current
art room, approximately 25 linear feet of above-counter storage and approximately 15 –
20 feet of below-counter storage.
3. Drying racks:
size, types (are they wood or metal mesh beds), portable or built in? Can be built-in if
used in permanent storage/prep areas. Portable is also fine. Metal mesh beds preferable
to wood. Our current rack is portable, 40 shelves, 48” wide by 30” deep. Ideally we
would have two of these at a minimum.
Additional notes:
Both rooms should have focusable, dimmer controlled track lighting – this is more of a priority for
the 2D studio than for the 3D studio.
Blackout curtains are important for the showing of slide images via LCD projector and for the use
of a document camera and for isolating still-life lighting for drawing exercises.
Any overhead fluorescent lighting should be on multiple switches to allow for some variability of
control.
Both rooms need bulletin board space for display of student work and project examples – see
existing H6 art room for examples.
Both rooms need internet connectivity – the 6 desktop computers we use will probably be put into
the 2D room but both rooms should have full connectivity.
Office area should have 2 double-wide desks – art teachers typically assess over-sized 2D work
and need extra flat surface area adjacent to the desk to do this work.
Office should have full wireless and Ethernet network capability.
Extra storage shelves in office where needed.
Both classrooms should have pull-down projection screens to facilitate showing art slide images
via LCD as well as the use of a document camera.
Both rooms should be equipped with school-standard TVs with DVD/VCR capability.
