    Operators are now facing the prospect of building multiple facilities concurrently, potentially across different site locations, instead of taking up to five years to bring a site online, the average development cycle is down to 18-24 months. A modular approach can help to refine and streamline the process at a time when speed and efficiency are top priorities to service the overwhelming demand for new facilities. 

    • How does a modularity and a programmatic approach help to solve the design challenge; standardised on components, additional manufacturers 

    • What is going to be the winning architecture? 

    • Retrofitting modularity is much more challenging, how does this affect initial planning
