Locations can be combined such as a military outpost set up in a windmill, an apiary that has become a mine field, or a tornado shelter at a mall. This type of combination might be especially prevalent in post-apocalyptic and military settings where the normal operations of these locations have been disrupted and they can be converted to another purpose.

Apiary: a location where bees and their hives are kept and bred.
