A bench and tool storage space is provided for twenty- three students.

All save one of the benches were made by an American concern no longer in production. Half of them have European style shoulder vises; face vises are on the remainder. They are 24" wide and 87" long.

The close quarters require a commitment on the part of the students to be considerate and accommodating, a not uncommon trait of the devoted.

During winter rains, the building has been referred to as "Das Schopp".
