The big thing to watch out for is power. You will undoubtedly need to add some circuits to the room as well as outlets.
You might want to look at going wireless, since the room is rather small. It might actually save you some bucks in wiring - and it will make it easy for you to move things around. Lighting is one of those things that folks always skimp on. If you want to be nice to your users, dump the fluorescents and use only incandescents. Of course this will add to your power needs and to the heat in the room.
