English term or phrase: soft space
1st example in the text:
The hospital is designed to respond to changes in clinical processes and adapt to technology development. The design of the buildings will accommodate these changes without the need for major future redevelopment. For example, 'soft space' will be built around the key areas such as the emergency department, theatres, imaging and critical care unit to allow for adaptation and changes over time.

2nd example in the text:
There is currently soft space within the existing clinical modules. These areas are currently administrative space amd can be converted into the clinical areas as the clinic needs to grow.
