Exciting progress on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Expansion
Get ready to rock. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is about to open its doors on a massive expansion. This once in a generation expansion activates an additional 50,000 square feet, helping us connect fans even more to the people, events, and songs that shape our world. Opening November 2026, this new wing will:
- Add museum exhibition space
- Provide dedicated education space to engage students
- Create an indoor multi-purpose space for live music and community programming
- Expand public access to and activation of Lake Erie
- Deliver unparalleled economic impact across Northeast Ohio and beyond
This new, reimagined space will help engage fans, artists, teachers, and students in innovative new ways!
The main museum public entryway, this free, un-ticketed space allows the public to enjoy and connect through the power of music.
This versatile space will engage thousands through concerts, community and private events, and educational programming each year.
The first space of its kind, this space is uniquely designed and built for the tens of thousands of K-12 students who visit each year.
A critical step towards Cleveland’s vision for a revitalized downtown neighborhood, the park will increase community access to our beautiful lakefront.
Community Connection
People. Planet. Prosperity. They’re all connected. We know that the long-term prosperity of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and its expansion is directly linked to the prosperity of our community and the health of the planet. That’s why we are committed to working with and advocating for the communities, organizations, and businesses that make up Northeast Ohio.
A cornerstone of our expansion is our Sustainability and Accessibility work, which ensures our impact matches our intent. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is proud to create a sustainable LEED Silver expansion site and use strategies that economically benefit the NEO community.
