Thanks, Paul.  I think these are excellent ideas.  The benches could be made from new material or by using doors for table tops like some in the woodshop.  They could have lockable under bench storage.  Perhaps they would make a good useful project for a woodworking class.
It seems like permanent partitions would be expensive to make and almost impossible to  reconfigure.  The cost would be lost if we ever decided to move Quelab to another location or if the space was not rented and needed for another use.

I was a member of the Portcity Makerspace and thay had a 24x48x38 workbench available for an additional fee. The workbench was supplied by the Makerspace and it was on wheels so it could be stored in the workbench storage area. The shops had adiquate room where you could roll your bench out and work and when you were finished you would roll it back.It works extremely well and we were always building new benches. By the time I left our bench storage was full.They were also starting to build rooms of 8x10 with metal stud/plywood walls with lockable doors, power, air and light. Two of which were already taken by members who were also involved in the build. The rooms are an additional fee to the membership, I think 250/month. There was no agreement other than if you didn't pay for three months the contents of the room would become the property of the Makerspace and dealt with accordingly, the room would then be cleaned out and up for grabs.There are a couple of maker spaces that have similar offerings, one in Portland Maine and one in Somerville MA. Portcity got the idea from them. It's a great cash generator.
