Lyon" quickly quoth:

That would be self-defeating. You'd be introducing hot air and
moisture into the air which would then have to be removed by the A/C

Hot air? How does an evaporative unit add hot air to a room?

By sucking it in from outside. A/C units recycle interior air while
dehumidifying and cooling it. Swamp coolers suck in outside air and
pass it over water (humidifying it) in an attempt to cool it. Running
both would be self-defeating because the swamp-cooled air would still
be hotter than that coming from the a/c units.

Consider doing a quick and dirty tubafore interior wall/ceiling
sub-structure around the inside of the shop with foamed-in-place or
foamboard filling. An OSB interior would stand up to the abuse pretty
well.
