extra space available in the future
I interpret the part in question of the first sentence as there is a possibility of expanding the space available right now in the future, since the sentence ends in large flexibility and define widening possibilities.

David Williams
: I don't think Zukunftsoffenheithas to do with the amount of space available, simply the flexibility (in terms of different usage), although the Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten almost certainly does.

options/openness/room for future expansion(s)/extension(s)
This is how I see it - the basic design/structure should leave room for future expansions/extensions of the building.

In the context of flexibility, they perhaps also refer to options for changes in the use(s) of the building - this is not entirely clear.

A common-ground solution could perhaps be "options/openness/room for future <B>modifications</B>" (covering both "Nutzungsänderungen" and "Erweiterungen").

David Williams
: Againt, this is where the Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten come in, not really specifically what Zukunftsoffenheit means, at least not exclusively. I agree with the notes.

This is not at all clear - "Offenheit" can refer to options for expansion/extension but also to possible changes in use (see also my added note). (And "flexibility" is mentioned before in the source.)

Kim Metzger
: I concur with David's initial reservations, but I think modifications or changes in use would cover it.
