providing diverse work areas, electricity, and other needs in a communal setting, the hub environment is designed to foster unexpected conversations and connections: artists, entrepreneurs, businessmen, and other individuals from an endless range of backgrounds, careers, and interests sit together at open tables, prepare food in an in-house kitchen, or draw up ideas together over coffee and at whiteboards. these spaces give participants access to ambitious, change-driven conversations that are difficult to cultivate in spheres of everyday life. special events and regular programming create a community whose members learn from each other and expand the possibilities and impact of individual projects.
