This building allows for people to rent out facilities, work space, and equipment for small teams to come work together and even stay for extended periods of time based on the project. Investors and other business can easily come visit and see what all is going on inside these “incubators” where projects and their ideas come to develop into something real. Developed in Technical Communication, buildings are expected to have detailed construction level documents as well as critical design considerations.
