In terms of a structural system, I intend to have a steel frame on piles for the core building, exhibit space, and classroom space. Floors will be concrete on metal decking. Roof will be membrane on rigid insulation on metal decking for the core building and green roof at classroom. Walls will be precast concrete panels attached to the steel frame for the core building, insulated metal panel for the classroom, and translucent insulated glazing panels for the exhibit space.As you can see above, the trickiest part of the structural system will be tying the prefab container units into the core building's frame. Is the core building one complete system that the container merely plugs into, or are there two separate systems, one for the core and one for the containers, that are attached together in the field?

Peter, nice diagram. Could you please add some dimensions to your systems description, i.e 3" concrete on 2" metal deck instead of metal deck w/ concrete.
