Inventure Place
An Innovative Space to Honor Innovative Thinkers
Five levels. A 70-foot-tall “sail” constructed of stainless steel. A broad plaza and exhibit space built 33 feet below street level.

Welty oversaw the complex construction of the structure, built in the heart of downtown Akron, and home to the Hall of Fame for 13 years.
