new studio advice

[diablodavo]

Hey, this is my first post and I was looking for some advice. I'm a musician that has just landed a job doing youth work in Glasgow. We've been awarded money from children in need to build a small project studio and have located premises. The only problem being it is only one room roughly 30ft x 30ft.
I am using one corner to build a booth to house the computer and moniters etc and was considering to build at least one other for vocals. I doubt I will ever record a whole band live as I would prfer to mutitrack most of the sessions.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
