We just got done with room renovations for an electron microscope where the manufacturer stated that temperature must be stable within 0.5C/hr. Thus, I think you might want to ask the different vendors what their room requirements in regards to temperature, fields, and vibrations are so that you won't jeopardize meeting manufacturers' resolution specs.
Most EM manufacturers have a pdf with these specs (minimum lab door sizes usually included).

Subject: Re: book on "designing an Imaging Facility"
Four critical factors to consider:
Temperature Control - Maintain temperature to within 2 degrees C
Humidity Control - Maintain humidity between 20-40%
Vibration Control - Sufficient anti-vibration tables or platforms
Electrical Supply - Have circuits with the correct voltage and current
handling capacity available
Also, delivery access is important. How easy will it be to get large
pieces of equipment into the facility? Are there large cargo
elevators available?
