Hoberman Arch

The Hoberman Arch is an architectural element designed by Chuck Hoberman as the centerpiece of the Olympic Medals Plaza in Salt Lake City, during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Following the Olympics, the arch was moved to the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Cauldron Park at the University of Utah where, along with the Olympic cauldron, it was one of the main features and an important part of Salt Lake's Olympic legacy. In August 2014, the arch was removed from the park[1] and placed in storage, where 29 pieces were stolen.[2] A restored arch was placed on display alongside the exit road of the Salt Lake City International Airport in August 2023.
