For this hypothetical adaptive reuse project, my intent was to connect the students using it with the general public, the city of Woonsocket – where the building is located – and the rest of the world. It also allows conversations, networking and sharing of information amongst the students themselves, allowing them to become better entrepreneurs.
SHAREinPROGRESS is an incubator for learning, designed to house Junior Achievement programs, such as lectures, conferences and the Company Program, for High School seniors.

The auditorium on level zero is a window to the world, through the projection of international conferences and other events. The screen can be seen both from inside and out, to allowing a more flexible audience and attract more attention.
Level one is an invitation for the people of Woonsocket to enter the building. On level two, students and visitors interact, while doing research or following classes. The library allows young entrepreneurs and members of the public to browse knowledge from around the world.
