I just found the cost to insulate my whole building i could just build another smaller insulated building.  Looking like there may be an insulated "portion" in mine.  Definitely consider all of your insulation options the closed cell spray quotes are waaay expensive, although im not sure what options are best in the colder climates.  Upstate NY here.

One of my neighbours has an insulation company. I'll talk to him about it once I'm done moving my stuff up here. Our climate is about the same as yours in upstate NY. We get a lot of snow off the big lakes.

I've got a pretty large 36X36 pole building, and have a mezzanine on one 12' X 36' section that only has a 7' ceiling and the stairs coming up on one end. i insulated a 12X12 room That i can heat with light bulbs to keep above freezing. the other 12x12 area at 7' is tool storage ans a wood rack too.

The main working portion of my shop is  24' X 36' and i have a 10' ceiling/2nd floor in a 24'x 24' section.the other 12x 24' section is vaulted with an 18' eve line and a 12'x 10' garage door.   

what i do in the winter is drop an arctic curtain and only heat that 24X24 area. I have no insulation in my work area, and only heat it when i'm out there. I have a small spray booth insulated that i keep my glue and finishes, and pain from freezing just using light bulbs. I just used fiberglass insulation and styrofoam on the spray booth.

You would be surprised how well an arctic curtain works...
