For a university science building with wet labs and classrooms, the design team is comparing two concepts. Concept 1 has simpler structure but weaker adjacencies; Concept 2 improves public orientation but requires longer duct runs and a more complex envelope. The structural grid that supports efficient parking conflicts with the preferred classroom module. A case-study resource also notes a civil sketch showing a constrained service drive, with about 21 ft of constraint along the east side. Which basis for selection is most defensible?
