Yippie Kay yay!
Alright GJ. educate me.
Do I do conduit to cheat some distances on stuff? then i need THHN to the first box before changing over to romex for and strings. I've got one center in floor box I want.
general floor plan lighting: 8's in the center. 4's on the sides.
in the print room I've got 4's spaced 18" apart.
I've got some of the 4's halfway over the loft storage area. if we ever enclose it then I can redo the lighting then.

Not sure I follow what you mean here. You definitely can start with conduit and transition to romex, though.
How many circuits are you going to need for the print farm? I'm wondering if a local subpanel makes sense vs running them all back
instead of having to follow the wall path for everything conduit can cheat the angle and be a more direct path. plus I dont need to drill enough holes for 64 circuits.

If you can support the conduit, go direct for sure. Wire is expensive
its going under the slab...
AC heat pumps ordered pre price hike. 9k in the bathroom/lobby. 24k in print room. 36k in main area to take the humidity down a bit/ heat in winter.
we also have a greenhouse style dehumidifier coming for the print room to keep humidity under 30% in there ideally.

yup those will be running dry mode when heat/ac isnt needed for about 4 days a year.
i'd be curious to know what kind of dehumidifier that is, my experience is it's hard to hit 30% rh with a phase change unit, unless you let the air temp climb up. I suppose that's climate dependent, too.
Laying out wiring.
Each 2 gang box will get 2 - 4/3 romex pulled to it.
then each outlet will get the tab broken. putting each plug on its own circuit.
4 - 15a circuits in a 2 gang box. allowing for 20 machines on 4 banks of 5.
16 romex runs.
32 circuits
Central bank will have 20 machines per unit. the wall half size ones will have 10 machines per unit.

How are you securing the romex?

So are you powering 20 machines off of one of the boxes? 4 circuits per box, 5 machines per circuit?
Are you putting a sub panel in the printer room? or home running all of these circuits back to the main panel?

5 machines per 15a circuit. each circuit gets a UPS.
4 circuits into the box. so yes. 20 machines 1 box.
subpanel for the print room will be:
the main panel is a panel board from the old building. want it in play for future expansion needs.

WOW!
What kind of UPS will you be using for the printer circuits? I need to buy a new one for my desktop.

You doing automated generator as well? I can't imagine those will keep the printers running for very long in an outage, right?
nope. just meant for the common 20-50 second blips out there.

That operator did a great job!
i really enjoyed the struggle on a big chunk for a while to break it up. then he just carts it off to the back of the property.

Feels like a good balance. Closed cell, correct?

Wow, crazy that Minnesota crop is that far behind Iowa. It started tassling here at the end of last week. Rain and heat have been working overtime on it.
