No drain in my 30 by 50 garage and no pitch on the floor. I did put radiant heat in the slab though. Snow and ice melt off is dried up before you know it. Speedy dry for the oil spills. In my area due to town laws and such, drains have to have grease traps and all kinds off other BS. Someone...

The building has a vented ridge but no gable vents. I have thought about adding them.
