A key component of the SustainableWorks Commercialization Center will be its ability to prototype and showcase new and emerging technologies in a state-of-the-art facility.

A large open area is reserved for bench testing and small open assembly, to support tech commercialization. The facility will be designed and built as an intelligent building capable of demonstrating the use of best practices and state-of-the-art technologies. It will house a scaled demonstration site and sustainability showcase for clean energy technologies, and will allow researchers to give market-ready technologies the opportunity to grow to commercial scale. The facility will be a high-performance design meeting sustainability requirements while enabling expeditious construction.
