	The current piping layout in the Woodshop results in a long reach of piping between the DC and the table saw, lathe, and sanding areas; thus adding the lathe and sanders to the system would significantly reduce the pressure in the system that is already inadequate. Most light commercial models that PS:1 can fit in the Woodshop cannot provide adequate pressure for the current layout if multiple tools are used. The new piping layout will reduce the pressure drop at the sanders by 4-5 inches, drastically improving dust pickup; Appendix A includes spreadsheets showing the pressure calculations for a hypothetical system where the DC is installed in its current location, and with the proposed layout.

	For the reasons mentioned above, an upgrade to the dust collection system is being proposed. This is mainly comprised of purchasing a larger, more powerful cyclone, re-working the piping to reduce pressure losses an optimize airflow, and install an automated blast gate system to automatically turn on the dust collection system when tools are being used and to prevent substantial pressure losses from open blast gates. To mitigate excessive noise and fine dust concerns, materials to build a sound-absorbing closet for the DC and ~~two~~ air filtration units are being proposed. Appendix A comprises a CAD drawing of the proposed moves and piping. This will involve several phases.		For the reasons mentioned above, an upgrade to the dust collection system is being proposed.

		⚫	The volume of the wood shop is 25' x 75' x 12' = 22,500 cubic feet. Note that for the purpose of air filters the height is 12' though the shop ceiling is closer to 16' - fine dust generated at floor level does not typically reach heights above 12'. To achieve the recommended minimum air exchange of 8 times per hour a flow of 3000 CFM is needed (22,500 cubic feet * 8 volumes/hour * 1 hour/60mins). As discussed earlier about sizing the DC, a factor of safety is needed since maintenance will likely not always occur on schedule, and that the wood shop is not completely isolated from Hot Metals or the loading dock. The filter model proposed has a maximum of 1400 CFM, but since these ratings are for clean air and filters, three units with a 'maximum' of 4200 CFM total will operate under normal conditions slightly above the 3000 CFM goal. Smaller units placed strategically around the shop will move air more effectively than a larger higher-throughpass system.

⚫	The volume of the wood shop is 28,~~800~~ cubic feet; to achieve the recommended air exchange of 8~~-10~~ times per hour ~~(using 9)~~ a flow of ~~4320~~ CFM is needed (28,~~800~~ cubic feet * 9 volumes/hour * 1 hour/60mins).

	Should the vote pass, a more detailed work plan will be written to provide a order-of-operations for moving tools, constructing the cabinet, installing the electrical for the new system, installing the ductwork for the new system, and other phases needed in the project. Volunteers will be solicited to help, and minimal disturbance to use of the space will be the goal. It is anticipated that there may need to be a small number of days where the Woodshop is either closed for use or restricted in some way to allow volunteers to safely install the ducting.
