Hi,
I think I have worked in every possible situation and I would take the
largest space that has at least one sink.
If you are doing a large project you can usually move it into the hall
temporarily or even outside weather permitting. One year I had a
small room and made a 10 foot big ant model with a 3rd grade. Three
groups worked on a body section each. Then the parts were assembled
outside and painted outside with balck paint and foam brushes-messy
but the rain washed the school yard clean after several days!
Then I could rinse everything out in the sink! It was my 3rd space in
the school and the best one ebcasue of the sink. Up to then I was
shlepping buckets everywhere.
