Christine -
One thing I strongly suggest you think about is information technology.
Building infrastructure for network access, information display, etc. is
very costly to add on later. Another suggestion is that you consider
acoustics, HVAC, and electrical needs, all of which are extremely costly
to add on later. The way this is typically done is through a programming
process in which all stakeholders are brought in, needs identified and
infrastructure designed to meet those needs. Many architects and
interior planners completely miss this and later on you end up
scratching your head as to why they did not think of it when they were
planning. I'd be glad to talk more about how this works.
