I reccomend getting air drops with quick disconnect fittings installed anywhere you can. Having compressed air ready to go is extremely useful for many tasks.

Storage and tables are key. Tables that have heavy duty drawers under them are a good combo.

Don't forget material storage especially if you plan on pursueing Frc. On the wall storage for long material works great along with overhead storage for sheet material. There are of course a million ways to store materials those are just the ways I've found to save the most space.

Also remember power. Many large tools like mills are not happy with the normal power sockets everyone in the US has. Make sure to take into account the power needs of tools.

Have a separate room for clean and dirty. One room can contain the programming and cad computers along with part storage where as the other room houses the tools and materials. Opening up a pc and finding 2" of saw dust is not fun.

Flooring is also important. In workshops your going to want something that's extremely durable and easy to clean. Where as your also going to want a separate carpeted area for practice. That's not a big deal with Ftc but if you go to Frc your going to really enjoy having carpeting that doesn't slide around.
