kiln venting in studios

Hello,
We are currently in the planning stages of building a new studio to get me
out of the basement. Yahoo! I have a hood vent now, but have been advised
to use a barn type exhaust fan to vent out the kiln fumes for the new
studio as well as totally enclosing the kiln in a room on its own. I would
appreciate any comments/concerns you have on this. Isn't the hood vent
adequate to exhaust fumes?
Thanks,
Cathy
