Quaker Square, student Residence in Ohio, United States
Quaker Square is a former industrial complex in Akron, Ohio, now converted into a hotel and residential spaces. The site features restored historic buildings arranged around an open plaza where grain storage and processing operations once took place.
The site was built in the early 1900s as a grain silo and processing facility for the Quaker Oats Company, serving as a major production hub for decades. Following the closure of industrial operations, it was renovated and repurposed into a contemporary destination that honors its industrial past while serving new functions.
The location sits in downtown Akron and is easily walkable, with ample parking available nearby. Visitors can explore the grounds year-round, though walking the outdoor areas is most pleasant during warmer months.
The site retained its distinctive grain silo towers that rise to create an unusual architectural silhouette on the city skyline. These structures now serve as a visual anchor for the repurposed area and tell a factory story simply by existing in the landscape.
