With a shop that large I would assume that you would have other people there to assist in working on equipment, so instead of just a bathroom with hot water I would install a Change Room / Locker room where each person could have their own locker for their work clothes / coveralls, and a shower area so that you keep the dirt & grime out of the House & POV's.
(2) I would have Heavy Duty, clear Vinyl Strip Air-Curtains on ALL shop doorways, that way doors can be left open without losing heating / cooling.
(3) Gantry Crane: "H" side beams incorporated into structural framework (need Structural Engineer), Cross-beam travels back & forth on longitudinal beams with chain-hoist & trolley running on the bottom of the cross-beam. This would give coverage to virtually any area of the shop. Also, you have the capability of having more than one cross-beam / chain-hoist.
(4) Dedicated Anchor Point: Buried under the floor & inline with a large doorway so you can winch a piece of heavy equipment or machinery into the shop.
(5) Dedicated Shop Office: For Reference Books, Shop Manuals, Computer, Phone, File Cabinets for Service Records, Refrigerator for cold drinks, Coffee Pot, etc. .
(6) And most important of all - LOTS & LOTS OF STORAGE SPACE, Cupboards with doors, Lots of Drawers, Lots of Shelving, & Lots of Work-Benches.
