Section Tours Columbus Idea Foundry
Members of the Central Ohio Section were able to experience the 60,000 square feet of workshops, offices, working nooks, classrooms, and communal spaces of the Idea Foundry on Thursday, February 7, 2019. The innovation center is located in a renovated, 100-year-old shoe factory and is not the typical co-working space. It’s designed as a gathering place for makers, techies, artisans, and visionaries, where, with the right tools, abstract ideas become work-in-progress projects. The entrepreneurial hub features a 20,000-square-foot workshop and a 25,000-square-foot creative office space, completed by a quiet area on the mezzanine level.
Following the tour, members headed over to the Land-Grant Brewing Company to grab a refreshment!
