Designed by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU), the museum said the expansion will integrate the original building designed by I.M. Pei with the urban Cleveland lakefront, while increasing the size of the Museum by one third.
“This transformation will expand the Rock Hall’s iconic structure to meet the demands of its evolving mandate: to showcase the past, present and future of rock & roll as the defining sound of each generation’s youth,” said Chakrabarti, Founder and Creative Director of PAU.
Where the two structures converge, a large publicly accessible interior atrium welcomes visitors, drawing in passersby with circulation pathways that connect the street to an exterior lake promenade. In addition to functioning as an urban pedestrian link, the Rock Hall said the new venue and exhibition spaces provide greatly increased flexibility to allow for larger exhibitions and events.
