Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
LERA was the structural engineer for the 143,000-sf (13,000-sm) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, containing exhibition space, a cantilevered auditorium, a disc jockey booth, office space, a museum shop, a café and outdoor terrace and a public plaza.
This facility combines geometric forms and cantilevered spaces, including 50,000 sf (4,600 sm) of exhibition space beneath a soaring “glass tent” spanning 260 ft (80-m) that engages an 8-story, 165-ft.(50-m) tower containing the Hall of Fame. This project was completed on a fast-track schedule.
