Great Space and I need Help

Hello all, I work @ a clinic in California and we are planning to set up a drain and flood system using Al B. F'd Style SOG.

We already have all the grow equipment for propogation, cloning, and flowering. We'll be using 4 1k W lights with 4- 8x4 flood trays and all the necessary fans and ducts. I have a room for mothers and the clones will stay in their own tent. The flowering room is where im stumped.

The room we have chosen is set up on the second floor of an office building facing the alley. The room was originally fit for jewelry casting and is equipped with an industrial blower attached to a hood with fans on an adjacent wall that also blows air into the alley. Though the room is much larger, the grow space we have available is a 18'x13'x8' due to the fact our A/C unit has only one access through a window in the room that leads to a platform attached to the outside wall.

Our goal is to enclose and seal a grow area with one access leaving room for a hallway to the a/c outside the grow space. Our restrictions are (since it is an industrial building):
Concrete walls cannot be modified
New walls cannot be built without permits
Hood cannot be removed
Fans cannot be removed

Please help me design a Low Cost solution to properly seal and ventilate this room using what we have.

Back Corner 1


Back Corner 2 with Hood and Fan


Front of Room
(grow space starts at tile. the shelf to the left is where the ac unit window is. the doorway to the right is the only one)


Blower and Fans


When the fans are on the air for the entire room can be changed in under a minute. The hood is more powerful than a restaurant hood since it's use was dealing with molten metal heat.

Sorry for the gigantic post and I appreciate any and all suggestions. If you need more pictures i'll gladly take them.

So a year later...
Specs:
2 - growlab 9X9X6.5
8 - 1000W hps light systems with cheep ballasts and air hoods
8 - Hortilux eye 1000w hps bulbs
1 - 3.5 ton a/c
4 - can fans
1 - industrial work sink
4 - 4x8 trays
4 - 100 gal resevoirs
1 - Merlin RO (so stoked)
pumps, timers, blah blah

So we convinced them to let us ditch the hood and we went with the tents so we could properly control the co2 we will be adding. In case you're curious as to what this looks like I attached some pics.
