The new, 27,000-square-foot ‘generator’ space on the first floor of the Bounce Innovation Hub welcomes tenants, guests, and visitors with a space to work, meet with clients, create or start a business.  Located in the former B.F. Goodrich factory building, the design concept played into the industrial setting and captured the spirit of Akron’s past and present.

A total of 79 local artists hand made the colorful and playful environment. Murals, artwork, furniture, poetry, and stained-glass pieces displayed throughout the first floor were orchestrated by Hazel Tree Interiors.

A front desk designed by a local artist draws visitors back into the open and functional co-working spaces encouraging collaboration between its users. New windows allow natural light to pour into the cafe and collaborative spaces.
