Examples of past experience where this has been accomplished is included within our proposal.

Flex space was allotted within the building to allow for a swapping of floor plates by the various user gtoups during the phased construction. The project entails a complete gut renovation, including new circulation patterns and technology upgrade. Through numerous iterations, The Musial Group, working intimately with the various user groups to develop and discover efficiencies thar provided a high degree of flexibility while promoting accountability and communication between the various departments.

Advances in technological infrastructure must be considered to the greatest extent possible to enable the facility to be “future proof” in its’ flexibility and ability to accommodate future technologies.
