Well if you don't have plumbing then the heating isn't so important. My judo club is in a machine shed at the instructor's farm. They just fire up the heater an hour or two before practice.

With a nice wood floor I'd be a little worried about cycling between extreme temperatures though.

But now that the Y's replacing the floor, I've got no motivation to build. We get everything we need (good floor, showers&lockers, central location, storage space for club crap) for way cheaper than we could ever do it on our own.
With the temp usually comes the changes in humidity which is what screws up the wood. I think though that giving it some thought and building at the right time prevents lots of problems. Luckily my son has tons of experience building furniture (and having it warp or crack) and we have learned a thing or three.

Mostly I'm just interested in building to give me something to do while I'm waiting for my big ticket to get punched.
