2.10  Architectural/Structural Interface

Structural floors shall be designed to have penetrable zones co-ordinated with the modular framework for partitions and services.  Utilities services should be organised in a clearly zoned spatial hierarchy.

Columns shall be located in-so-far, as is reasonably practical to coincide with corridor walls in order to minimise intrusion into rooms or corridors.  The relationship of columns, ducts and walls shall permit clear internal room surfaces and not obstruct equipment or fittings.
