One thing you might consider is creating a positive air pressure environment. Positive air pressure will repel dust and even force airborne dust out.

I'm not sure how you would go about doing it in a garage like this. The basic principle is to have a highly filtered fan blowing into the room. Then either have the positive pressure let air and dust escape through normal cracks and crevices, or put a second, lower intensity fan on a seperate opening.

Things to consider: the input fan obviously needs good filtration, otherwise it will make things worse. Too much air movement might be counterproductive. Consider air temperature when positioning fans (hot air rising). Negative air pressure is generally better for clearing fumes.

I'm a newbie in the garage, but I'm extrapolating on principles I've used with photography darkrooms and computer environments.
