I do not know if this is a valid option. An acquaintance of mine,
now in medical school and confined to a wheelchair, managed to get through
labs with the help of something that looked like a scooter. She said that
it wasn't nearly as confortable as her wheelchair (less upper back support)
but because the seat could be raised over a foot, came in handy for labs.
Perhaps having the chemistry department have one of these in reserve might
prove easier than redesigning hoods, and could certainly take place in
a shorter time scale.
