“ How can we design a building that can accommodate technology we don’ t know about yet?,” Hatem asks.“ We have to be mindful of what’ s coming and design a facility that is flexible enough for the future. So, we deliberately adopt a generous approach when it comes to permanent elements of the build, like structural loading, because you can’ t just knock down a building and rebuild it every two years.”
