Quaker Square was a shopping and dining complex located in downtown Akron, Ohio. Housed in a mill, factory, and silos built and owned by Quaker Oats, the buildings were bought by developers in the early 1970s who sought to create a unique, useful home for shops and restaurants. The buildings were bought by the University of Akron in 2007, and are now used as offices, dorms, and a hotel.
