Help needed – Drying room specification

W e have an opportunity to put a plan forward for a clothes drying room at work. There’s a fairly active cycling community here, and we’ve been pushing for some clothes drying facilities for a while, and we’ve now been told that we can forward a proposal.
So, we need to put together some idea of what we want, and rough order of magnitude costs.
I think the most we can hope for is a smallish room (maybe disabled toilet size), with some form of dryer and a load of clothes and shoe racks. The bit I’m not sure about is the actual dryer, and that’s where I need some help.
I’ve stayed in ski chalets where they’ve had a big upright dryer, similar in size to an upright fridge / freezer thing, which has a load of racks, you can switch it on for a certain amount of time and it circulates warm air around the clothes. This seems ideal, but I’ve googled to no avail. Or, maybe just a air con unit to circulate warm air around the room, with clothes hanging on racks, think you’d need a vent for this to work properly.
Does anyone have any ideas about costs for dryers / small aircon units, or any other ideas for a drying room?
Thanks

The only place I ahve ever seen is army camps, the drying rooms on those have been had heating pipes running through the room and have been brilliant for drying wet kit.
You are really lucky that your employer is considering them.0
