the universal grid consists of three 10’-6" building modules that create a 31’-6" x 31’-6" structural grid—in conjunction with an 18’ floor-to-floor height. the universal grid's open plan is easily adaptable to changing equipment and service offerings. this approach facilities the installation of new technologies and conversion of building zones, as future needs determine, to entirely different functions without the modification of core infrastructure systems (mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems).
