When LearnerNation chief executive Michael McCord needed someone to review service terms for one of its software products, he walked a few short steps from his Pipeline Brickell desk and found an experienced attorney to lend a hand.

McCord also hired a social media specialist for his year-old online learning management firm through Pipeline, a shared-workspace facility that opened in November at 1101 Brickell Ave. A 14,000-square-foot facility with an open layout to promote collaboration among members, Pipeline is more than 70 percent occupied in its first two months of operation.
