## Abstract

The present disclosure provides an inflatable building structure, comprising at least one enclosure of fluid impermeable fabric deployed above a surface that is separate from the fluid impermeable fabric to form an enclosed space bounded by the fluid impermeable fabric and the surface. The inflatable building structure comprises a cleaning assembly for draining one or more contaminants from the enclosed space bounded by the fluid impermeable fabric. The cleaning assembly comprises at least one first opening formed on an exterior of the at least one enclosure, and comprising a first attachment mechanism positioned on any of an interior and an exterior of the at least one enclosure configured to detachably secure a container for receiving the one or more contaminants from the enclosed space of the at least one enclosure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An inflatable building structure, comprising:
at least one enclosure; and
a cleaning assembly for draining one or more contaminants from the at least one enclosure, wherein the cleaning assembly comprises:
a first opening formed on an exterior of the at least one enclosure;
a first attachment mechanism positioned on an exterior of the at least one enclosure;
a container configured to be detachably secured to the at least one enclosure, the container configured to receive the one or more contaminants from the at least one enclosure through the first opening;
at least one door adapted to close the first opening when the container is detached from the first attachment mechanism;
a second attachment mechanism comprising:
a first fastening element positioned on an exterior of a first door of the at least one door; and
a second fastening element positioned on an interior of a second door of the at least one door; and
a third attachment mechanism positioned on the container and configured to attach with the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism to detachably secure the container to the at least one enclosure, wherein the third attachment mechanism comprises:
a first fastening element disposed on an outer surface of a first flap of the container, the first fastening element of the third attachment mechanism configured to attach with the first attachment mechanism;
a second fastening element disposed on an inner surface of a second flap of the container, the second fastening element of the third attachment mechanism configured to attach with the first fastening element of the second attachment mechanism; and
a third fastening element disposed on an outer surface of the second flap of the container, the third fastening element of the third attachment mechanism configured to attach with the second fastening element of the second attachment mechanism.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)
