To make this possible, the shipping containers are outfitted with audio-visual technology and a life-size screen to make real-time communication possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Portal Project at the Ent Center is made possible by the support from the Bee Vradenburg Foundation and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation.
