One of their workspaces is moving into our office building. So far, they're just building workbenches, but I'm curious what they'll put into the 2500 square feet of office space they're leasing.

If you have an idea for an improvement to a process, or machine, or just want to learn about a new technology which could be beneficial for the company, but don't have the tools or knowledge, you can schedule a time. They will have people within the company who know how to do/make/build things onsite.
You go with your ideas, they discuss the ideas with you, then if it appears feasible, will help you design, build, and implement the concepts to benefit the company. The space has the tools and materials, as well as the people who can help.

I use the pronoun ”we”, because, once a tenant moves in, they're part of ”us”. I have to promote them, be available to assist as needed, and be a liaison to local resources. We helped them fund and purchase the equipment.
My reservations concern having particulate-creating machinery in the same room/airspace as the 3D printers and sewing machines. But what do I know?
