The areas of IDEA, UNDERTAKE and GROW UP include the proportional part of compartmentalized and isolated spaces, for the community use. Every area includes its proportional part of circulation spaces.

All work spaces are in the same zone and, if it is necessary, it is possible to exchange areas among them. Anyway, uses have been organized understanding that the entrepreneur, once hi has started working in the coworking, makes an itinerary through it, during the development of his project, from the interior part of the centre to the most public and exterior one. Actually, the project starts in IDEA, goes through UNDERTAKE, continues in GROW UP and opens to LINK. Always taking advantage from the resources of CLOUD, sharing community isolated spaces, and depending on BRAN and I-BOX to work.
