I work at a Junior College and am seeking advice on how best to layout and equip a new costume shop. It will be built as part of a larger expansion project of our existing fine arts building and is expected to be around 800 SF. We do not currently offer costuming classes, nor de we have a costumer, however, we want to set the room up as if we did. It’s all about future proofing where possible. As part of the 800 SF we are asking for a fitting / changing room, laundry room w/ limited dying capacity, and office.
So given these few parameters, how would you equip this costume shop? What items are must haves, luxuries, and dream items? Eventually we are going to have to cut items, but before we get there I want to plan for the ultimate costume shop. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you have photos or floor plans that you could provide that would be amazing. Thanks!
P.S. We are working with a Consultant on this project. Also, I will be posting similar posts for a scene shop, project room, and black box, so if you can help with those areas as well please do so.
