That large detached garage was why I bought this house. I installed a 100A breaker box in it, and installed switches by each door to divide the 10' by 20' bays in half, so you can light any 10' by 10' square that you want. Double, duplex outlets every ten feet along the walls, and the rear 10; by 40' is for office and storage., if I don't get around to building a 40 foot long bench against the rear wall. I also installed dual duplex outlets under each pair of light switches on the door posts. Everything in EMT, except for cords where the overhead lights plug in.
I'm envious, Michael!? I'm lucky if I have 50 square feet.? More if I move the car out of the garage, though.? Few hundred sq ft max.? ?Jim

Some of the racks are free standing, and others are beside the bench. My workshop is 1200 square feet, in a stand alone garage.

Interesting idea - but if the rack is behind a bench, the drawers are?
a bit difficult to get to.? Much depends on how yu position the?
equipment "racking" relative to the work space.
