Been lurking here for quite a while. Great site.
I put up a 40x63 pole barn a couple of years ago. This spring is the time to complete to interior.
The plan is to put a 20x28 shop in one corner for year-round use. I work primarily on older Ford tractors and implements so the shop doesn't have to be too large. I also need the rest of the space for storage (camper, boat, buddy's Trans Am).
I don't think I posted pictures of the building when we put it up, so they are here as well.

So here is my layout/electrical plan as it stands:
Outlets are on the outside of the interior. Broken into 3 circuits. 3 rows of lights in the interior. May or may not put lights over the shop.
There are 2 lights under the overhand and 2 on the north side facing the house. These are on a photocell. There will be one above the big door on a switch.
The shop is in the northeast corner as that is closest to the house.
Not sure if the county will allow the floor drains. I am trying to see if I need to pull permits for the next phase(s) since the building was "inspected" when the house was inspected. The rest of the work is adding to existing building. Permits or not, it will be built to code.
When the house was built I had the power panel installed. In order to pass the inspection one light and an outlet had to be installed. They are at the panel now.
I don't have any specific questions, just open to thoughts/comments.
