Innoventions is a pavilion located in [[Epcot]]. The pavilion is divided into Innoventions East and Innoventions West.
==Pavilion History==
Innoventions opened on September 29, 1994 <ref name= "edc"/>, replacing the CommuniCore pavilions. Like its predecessor, Innoventions was divided into East and West buildings, with a total area of 100,000 square feet <ref name= "edc"> http://www.intercot.com/edc/Innoventions/index.html </ref>. Although the basic idea of Innoventions was essentially the same as CommuniCore, their intents were different. Whereas CommuniCore showcased various scientific exhibits, Innovention's goal was to showcase things that would soon be affecting guests in their home or office on a daily basis <ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?s=Innoventions </ref>. Furthermore, as opposed to the laid back and bright look of CommuniCore, Innoventions was dark and loud in an attempt to gain guest's attention <ref name= "Martin"/>. In this same vein, a new metallic blue color scheme was given to the buildings to further "modernize" them <ref name= "Martin"/>. Other aesthetic changes included the fact that the exterior reflecting pools were filled in to improve guest flow <ref name= "book"> Pedersen, R.A. The EPCOT Explorer's Encyclopedia:. United States: Epcyclopedia, 2011. Print </ref>, the large windows that made up the walls of the building were covered<ref name= "book"/>, and the West building was expanded towards the [[Living Seas]] <ref name= "Martin"/>. Finally, new entryways were constructed and the pavilion's multilevel interior was changed so that all the exhibits were now on a singular level<ref name= "book"/>.
