As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to design physical buildings and structures. But here are some general ways that people account for future expansion in building design:
1. Modularity: A modular building design allows for easy expansion by adding prefabricated components or modules. This allows for the building to be expanded without compromising the structure's integrity.
2. Future planning: Ensure that there is adequate space in the building site for future expansion. This means, including in the design plans, spaces that can be added or extended as the need arises in the future.
3. Flexible design: The design of the building should be flexible enough to allow for changes to be made in the future without significant disruption. An example can be adding an expansion joint that permits movement of a structure.
4. Multi-purpose design: A multi-purpose building design that can cater to different needs as they arise can be an excellent way to prepare for future expansion. This type of design offers the flexibility of adding partitions, extending the building, or using it for a different purpose.
5. Access to utilities: The building design should include provisions for future utility expansions. This might include an adequate supply of electricity, water, gas, sewage, and internet access that can cater to an expanded building in the future.
