Layout of classroom

We started sorting out the layout to our dark space with the other groups on Wednesday. With our final decision of it being (not to scale):
However I felt as if the walkway was a bit messy so I started doing sketches of possible solutions which we can bring up with the other teams:
These are all my rough sketches and from there I liked the idea of:

This one I liked because the walkway is in the middle with nothing being at the end and groups being either side. in this case I think it would be good to have a curtain hanging from the hooks between group 29 and the cat wall and just a small curtain covering the beginning of the mini put group then all open space so the customer can see into each group easily.
The other idea I liked was the walkway being against the back wall and lit up with the lines between stalls being curtains seperating the groups, the cat wall can be against the back wall and the two sides  if they like and so the customer can walk in and have everything open to see again. My main concern with this one is whether people will think they have got the right room when then come in, therefore I think it could be possible to make the front wall a scratch wall too (with the cat group) and have the miniput and hoop throwing split the other half. 

I think it would also be cool if our groups got together again and made this whole dark room space a bit more communal, by putting in bean bags etc around the room making it a place to chill. 
To do: we need to meet with other dark room groups and discuss the layout and walk way further, as well as talk about how communal we want the room to be. 
I will take measurements of the room tomorrow and make a more accurate layout plan.
