I'm working on a project that is set up this way: The Las Vegas Valley Water District, which is a public utility, has provided funding and a site for the Las Vegas Springs Preserve, a 501c3. The Preserve is building a visitor center, a botanical garden and a system of interpretive trails on the site. They are set to open in 2005. To complicate matters, the Nevada State Museum, an agency of the State of Nevada, has received $35 million to build a new building on the Water District site adjacent to the Springs Preserve. It will probably not be open by 2005. The two institutions will share parking, public areas, some infrastructure and most likely the ticketing/entrance area. Can anybody think of examples of other institutions that have been "roommates" like this? I'm wondering about things like ticketing system sharing, public area maintenance policies and other business-type questions--and I need a brain to pick...
