If starting from ground-up construction, I would absolutely use a hydronic radiant heat source in the slab to heat the room.



I would use structural insulated panels (SIPS) for the construction. I would make the building in a way that adds value to your property. Make it tall enough for someone who wants to store a small RV or using it for woodworking. The extra height won't matter much when it comes to heating if you use the radiant floor heat.



Include a header that will allow a huge overhead door to later be installed, although I would frame this area in and insulate it, making sure the wall could be easily removed by a future owner.



Have backup emergency lights. You don't want to have a tiny and valuable hatchling in an open tub when the lights go out.



I would probably use plugmold for much of the electric so you could raise or lower the outlet height as needed. Have some of the outlets on a timer, some fixed.



You'll want clean sinks and dirty sinks, just like zoos. Some for dumping dirty stuff, some for soaking, and some for just getting fresh water.
