Important stuff:
Heat
Light, and plenty of it.
Tunes. Did the radio thing for 6 months. Never realized how much repeat there was. Bought a 300 CD changer for christmas. Ahhh. Amazing how much "new" music I found with random play setting.
OIL compressor with BMF tank. Quiet and doesn't run often.
Well located air and power drops. I have an air reel (Home Depo) and 2 elec power reels in the cieling out in the "open" area, plus a coil flex hose hanging over the my big table. Other hookups available for use with long hose.
Think about where you mount your vise. It will be the "nastiest" area of the shop. Keep it as far away from the "record keeping" area as you can.
All bench tools on roll around cart. You really need to be able to easily reconfigure the shop for different tasks or different stages of construction.
My RV is normally spread around the shop but it only takes 5 minutes to roll everything to one side in order to bring a car inside (winter) for maintenance.
Good luck.
