I had a good look at this thread and I must say you are off to a good start with the Squash courts having isolated flooring from one another! Plus rendered thickly double brick!
You were saying there is a floor above the middle court and as such has a lower ceiling than the remaining courts. Before you rip it out it may double for gear stowage or as the machine room itself-heat rises right! You may just have to put up with CCTV and follow your floor plan. Remember, You got your eyes in the area.
Two things that might help. Ideally you'd like it as perfect a set up as possible but the existing structure imposes limitations or compromises from the ideal perfect.
Secondly and this is important and will save you money time and uncertainties. Make a model of you spaces to a scale in a box. Including furniture and gear. Schematics and sketches are not enough. It is a three dimentional world. If you can make your model you'll end up with a definite plan and definite series of actions if you don't you'll procrastinate and possibly give up or never start.
On your to scale model create your studio. Include your gear, patchbays cable runs, power supply lines. Many unforseen's will come up and many lights will go on in that scull of yours. You know I speak sooth!
If you can as I say you'll make it! For real! if you can't make a model of it then you have saved lots of wasted expense, time and money. And the same if you do it now. PLANNING
