Darkroom call for help!

A current graphic design student at the University of Lapland is forming a community arts project based around the darkroom at the university. I have only been in my darkroom back at Manchester but, from when I first walked in I thought it was quite cluttered and messy, and I am not the only one who feels this way. The project has been created as an attempt to overcome the current issues of the darkroom.

There are about 10 students involved in this project, some foreign exchange students and some Finnish students. We are working together to create a system so that the darkroom can function in an appropriate way. Currently, there is no tutor support as students keep leaving the darkroom in such a mess, for example chemical bottles are left everywhere, which is rather hazardous. The aim of the project is to combat this by creating a community in the darkroom where people will hopefully start to work together and create a better working space.

As I will be working in the darkroom while I am here, I thought it would be a useful project to become part of, and create a better working space for myself too.
