Heather,

There are safety issues with transporting chemicals, especially in elevators.  Will the basement stockroom have the proper ventilation and fire suppression systems required for storing flammables?  If all they are doing is teaching, it seems that putting classrooms in the basement would be a more economical choice than putting a specially designed chemical storeroom.  Ours has special venting for flammables and toxics and proper fire doors and walls and a sprinkler system, as per NFPA fire codes.
