I really need help here. My friend and I are going to put our money together to build a really simple darkroom for black and white prints. Does anyone know what equipment is necessary to make prints in a really simple darkroom?

Thanks in advance.

Its been a while since I have done this, but any photographic supplier or local club should help, basically you need darkness, a light trap at the doorway, some infa red lights, some equipment and a good water supply

i've used everything from a professional room with revolving doors for light traps to bathrooms with the windows and doors taped over with thick black plastic tarp.

like louishen says, water and darkness are key, the rest can be improvised.
