Chicago Stockyards Business Incubator

          When looking at the surrounding context, there are many types of businesses in the Chicago Stockyards area. One such business is the Plant Chicago which has a unique system where businesses interconnect so that some use waste from one business as a resource and sell their waste to a different business. They have a symbiotic relationship.

          This project is a business incubator that is designed to help small and startup businesses grow by providing space for them to work and creating a space for entrepreneurs to meet other entrepreneurs and share business ideas and resources. The facility provides opportunity that these businesses might not have on their own but they have the opportunity to hold meetings in a professional environment and access lab equipment they otherwise could not afford. This is a coworking space for those around the area to get their businesses off the ground.
