The proposed complex promotes cultivating connections both in its appearance and function. It includes a center for hydroponics production, a multi-level bridge, and an event box. The production center functions as an interface between social work, food science, and nourishment community groups and educational institutions. The bridge acts as connective tissue, increasing pedestrian and bicycle access to multiple site levels. The event box is a flexible container, a new public events space, accommodating promotional, educational, and leisure events.
