The Raleigh Convention and Performing Arts Complex shared a first look at the new 298,100 sqft convention center expansion, and we can’t wait to see this new convention space in action.
The new addition will replace Red Hat Amphitheater, which is moving just a block away, and feature have a sleek, modern exterior with connections to the original convention center, which was built in 2008. Once complete in 2029, the convention center will have a total of 798,100 sqft of event space.
“We’re eager to welcome our community and visitors alike to this expansion of the Raleigh Convention Center,” said Marchell Adams-David, Raleigh City Manager. “This thoughtfully designed space integrates community input while better serving the conventions and gatherings that bring vibrancy to the city. This is truly a first-class venue for our first-class city.”
