The Raleigh Convention and Performing Arts Complex unveiled architectural renderings of the new Raleigh Convention Center (RCC) expansion. This transformative 298,100-sq.-ft. facility adds significant event capacity in downtown Raleigh, bringing the center’s total square footage to 798,100. The building’s modern design and world-class amenities will further solidify RCC's position as a leading venue globally.
“We’re thrilled to be launching the future convention center designs today! This expansion allows us to host events and conferences we were unable to previously accommodate. It also allows our loyal customers to expand and grow, while opening doors to new conventions and events for years to come,” said Kerry Painter, executive director of the Raleigh Convention and Performing Arts Complex. “Conventions bring the world to Raleigh’s doorstep, and we’re delighted to have a part in that knowledge exchange and downtown growth.”
This expansion of RCC, designed by architect joint venture RATIO | TVS, includes a new 50,000-sq.-ft., divisible flex space and 18,000-sq.-ft. ballroom to accommodate diverse event needs. In addition, there are 13 new meeting rooms and welcoming pre-function spaces. The design highlights Raleigh through expansive windows that provide picturesque views of the city on all sides, offering visitors an immersive experience of downtown Raleigh’s energy and character.
