Sanding Room
I have been asked to look at how to ventilate a dedicated sanding room that will ventilate to atmosphere and where noise is not an issue at all. I supplied a cyclone to do this exact same thing some years ago but the design was done by a HVAC engineer and I had no input to that side of it. My first thoughts are to use inline fans in Sonotubes to move a large amount of air fast and ventilate the room at ground level so the air passes upwards and takes the dust with it. Using very large PVC will I expect blow any budget out of the water. I have yet to see a budget number and a lot will depend on that as to the equipment used. It should be interesting to see where this goes if it does, I don't know of any air flow numbers to do this sort of thing so I guess more is going to be better.

Don't know yet but it will be a reasonable size to get doors, table tops etc into so not so small and it will definitely have multiple extraction fans. I like doing out of the ordinary stuff like this where there is very little experience to fall back on, it makes life interesting. The first one (in WA BTW) was a huge success or so I was told at the time.

My preference would be to use squirrel cage fans but if noise is not an issue axial fans will work just a well in the manner you suggest.
If you don't want to building anything complicated I reckon a 3P Evap AC fan running in reverse on a VFD would be the go.
