Fume extraction

At Penn State, we are designing a new conservation center.  As one
would expect, there will be the occasional need to use ethanol or
other solvents to treat oversize materials in a large wash sink.
While working with our Environmental Health and Safety Department,
the suggested design was a complete enclosure that requires corner
posts.  Obviously, such corner supports will interfere with the use
of the sink when two people need to handle an item.  We are looking
for alternative designs that have been accepted by EHS and would
appreciate hearing from colleagues who have specifications.
