building a fruiting room ideas

Let's say you had a 7ft x 12 ft room that you could dedicate to mycology and you wanted to maximize your yields. The room has no heating or cooling and is basically some siding away from being outside. If you were going to start converting that room into an ideal place to do mycology how would you start constructing it? I would start with insulating and drywalling the room. Sealing it up pretty good and perhaps putting a window AC unit through the wall for temperature control. Would you still use tubs or shoeboxes or look at ways to make the room itself be the fruiting chamber? What other things might you do to make your dream mycology room?

I've had many dreams of a fruiting room with the perfect conditions and mushrooms growing in open air but the reality is that sticking with tubs is so much easier (in my opinion). Tubs are easily moved around, self contained units, that can be stacked super efficiently. I only grow cubes that do well in tubs and I'm still very much a novice so take what I saw with a grain of salt.
My ideal room would be perfectly lit, enough air flow, stable fruiting temps, and modular enough to easily change what I need.

You would ideally need a separate room for myco work and fruiting. Or atleast a good divider or closet. Definitely need some way to heat and cool the room. I'd need a cool room to work in and warm one to fruit in unless doing cartain edibles alot of them like cooler temps.

You could do an outdoor building with an evaporative cooler type wall. Having intake/exhaust fans at either end pulling fresh air through will encourage the "water wall" to create constant FAE and humidity within a greenhouse. This also apparently helps to stabilize temperatures within the GH.
As far as a room, you'd have to have the ventilation to pump in fresh air, humidity, and not allow standing water. Unless it's in a concrete structure, which I think could handle more water. I have a feeling you'd need to do regular cleanings in addition to all that. Have a drain in the middle of the room and I see no real issue of why it couldn't work. Just seems like more work than doing other proven methods - including using tubs.
I have been thinking of this for a while now and plan to build the greenhouse/evap cooler wall idea at some point in the near future. It would be nice to have a separate space altogether for this hobby.
