1. A modular ventilated workstation arrangement, comprising:
a first workstation comprising:
a first base;
a first work surface on a horizontal portion of said first base;
a first intake plenum in a vertical portion of said first base and extending from a first end of the first base to a second end of the first base and having a plenum opening at each end;
an intake vent in the vertical portion of the first base above said first work surface, said intake vent in fluid communication with said first intake plenum;
a first make up air plenum in said vertical portion of said first base and extending from the first end of the first base to the second end of the first base and having a plenum opening at each end
said first make up air plenum having a make up air diffuser adjacent said first work surface;
a first ventilator unit in the first base including a fan and being in fluid communication with said first intake plenum and said first make up air plenum;
an exhaust duct in fluid communication with the first ventilator unit, wherein air flows into said intake vent through to said first intake plenum and said first ventilator unit and exits through said exhaust duct;
a make up air duct in fluid communication with the first ventilator unit,
wherein make up air flows into the make up air duct through to the first ventilator unit and exits the first make up air plenum to ambient environment;
a second workstation comprising:
a second base;
a second work surface on a horizontal portion of said second base;
a second intake plenum in a vertical portion of said second base and extending from a first end of the second base to a second end of the second base and having a plenum opening at each end,
wherein said first and second intake plenums of said first and second workstations are in fluid communication when said first and second workstations are interconnected in adjacent end to end relation;
an intake vent in the vertical portion of said second base adjacent to said second work surface, said intake vent in fluid communication with said second intake plenum;
a second make up air plenum in said vertical portion of said second base and extending from the first end of the second base to the second end of the second base and having a plenum opening at each end
said second make up air plenum having a make up air diffuser adjacent said second work surface;
a second ventilator unit in the second base including a fan and being in fluid communication with said second intake plenum and said second make up air plenum; and
plenum end plugs blocking the plenum openings on exposed ends of the interconnected workstations.
