We wrote a couple hundred words on the grand opening of New Lab earlier today, but it wasn’t enough. Given the Picture Value Theorem, here are 16,000 more words on the space.

New Lab’s entrance is at Flushing and Cumberland, in the no man’s land between Downtown Brooklyn and South Williamsburg.
Previously a workshop for naval ships during both world wars, New Lab has retained much of the original architecture.

With 80 foot ceilings, the space feels huge.

A communal 3D-printing workshop makes prototyping easier for the design and industrial companies inside the space.
There was a shipping container called “Portals” that digitally connected party-goers with people from Mexico City to Milwaukee.

Lewis was in Milwaukee, but he was also in Brooklyn.

When full, New Lab will be home to more than 50 companies and 350 workers, including this guy.

One of those companies, Terreform ONE, works to re-envision cities.
