Connecting to music history, the new convention center ignites economic development.

 

Designed to host Nashville’s largest events, the new center generated $26 million in economic impact during its first quarter of operation.

 

Music City Center is designed to serve as a catalyst for new business by respecting the surrounding neighborhood and turning a welcoming face to the community. It strives to connect the rich music history of Nashville to a new home for expositions, meetings and tourism.

The wood and curves around the complex draw inspiration from guitars, fiddles and pianos.

High Performance Design

Featuring a green roof and views of the Nashville skyline the  center spans six city blocks and includes 60 meeting rooms and 2 grand ballrooms. The 178,000 SF vegetative roof counteracts urban heat island effect, and helps to slow rain water runoff into enormous water tanks, resulting in an 80% reduction of water use.
