While the following is aimed at secondary education spaces, it might be a good starting point:
I uses 50 sq ft/person as a number...of course you need to remove space for equipment, safety zones around equipment, material storage, etc.

I have been asked for an opinion on the safe class size for our theater department’s stagecraft class that builds sets for stage productions.
At first glance, this question appears to be even more site specific than the similar question we often see about how many students it is safe to have in a teaching lab. An Internet search did not turn up any resources for answering this question, in terms of either elements of a relevant risk assessment or professional associations with recommendations relevant to this question. I wonder if anyone has addressed this question or knows of good places to look for resources in answering it?
Thanks for any information on this.
