Checked out a community workshop space in Philly, their dust collection setup is genius

I stopped by this maker space off Washington Ave last weekend and they rigged a dust collector with a cheap 4 inch hose and a big plastic funnel that sits right under the table saw. The thing catches like 90% of the sawdust before it hits the air, way better than my setup at home where everything ends up on my glasses. They also mounted a shop vac to the ceiling with a remote switch so you dont have to bend over to turn it on. I spent an hour watching their layout and stole like four ideas for my garage. Has anyone else visited a shared workshop and found a hack that made your own build space feel basic? How did you adapt it for a smaller room?
