jake, my situation is a little unique because I'm tracking in the same room I'm going to be mixing in. It's about a 22' x 23' x 9' (height) room. I've been focused on acoustics and have already received some feedback about the recoding console placement and more in this thread:

I'm taking the advice of others and getting the recording console out of the corner, but at this point, as I get everything in place and plug in acoustic treatment items, I want to see how the room is responding. I guess that the goal would be for a flat response while mixing and then let the tracking take advantage of that.
I've got a pretty raw room recording including guitars and drums. This is not ideal considering nothing is close mic'd or anything, but I guess it gives a crude example of what the rooms sounding like. This is two condensers, fig. 8, knee high in the center of the room:

(I'm not happy with this but 'tis the live room sound as is)
I've got 5 heavy duty roll-away gobo panels that allow me to create as much isolation as I'd need per project / instrument. I might place these in different places while taking SPL measurements too and see what happens.
On that note, if you care to chime in..... I'm pretty set on much of the layout but I'm undecided on which wall I'm going to end up on with the recording console. If you can see any other scenarios with the layout aside from these either, I'm all ears.....
In regards to placement of the recording console, I'm not sure which of these two walls would be best:

thanks for the insight!
