Matt I'm wondering what you consider to be a foley studio? From what you describe it sounds like you are planning an isolation booth (or two).
A real foley studio is a larger, soundproof room that typically has a floor or "pit" with removable sections of flooring that expose different surfaces (concrete, sand, dirt, linoleum etc) to primarily record walking, that can be adapted for other uses. There is often a wall of closets containing a large variety of props that can be used for creating sound effects. Having had a facility with a foley floor I can tell you from experience that it is a fun thing, and foley artists can be truly amazing to watch, but the reality is that with today's budgets and workflow it is a space that is generally underutilized (outside of "Hollywood" productions). Most sound design these days is assembled on DAWs from a combination of stock and custom SFX libraries, supplemented by the creativity of the sound designer using props in the studio.
