Building a Darkroom in a 2.5ft by 6ft Room

Looks good!
I'd consider extending the shelves and adding a lip.
It would definitely be better to have the intake vent separated from the outlet - ideally low and at the opposite end of the room.
If you can have the outlet venting from above the trays - maybe by using a bit of dryer venting tube - that would be best.

Ended up adding wider shelves with a lip, think it helps a lot. Now I just need to figure out where to put a tub of water. Think it will have to go below the shelves. I also made it to where my power strip and timer are hanging on the wall. The power strip wasn’t staying that well with the wall hooks it has so I had to add some electrical tape.

Here’s an update on how the darkroom is looking. I’ve decided to hang my prints outside of the room to dry and also have my tub of water out there too.

That is looking very usable.
Have fun!

This looks great I knew you'd be able to make it work.

The only thing I would suggest is lay an old towel down under the trays to catch dripping and whatnot.

That’s looking really usable.

I would recommend running a sheet of plastic behind the trays to catch splashes, and maybe extend it to the floor. Then you won’t have chemical stains on the perforated board.
