Motown Museum unveils new renderings as expansion work heads into homestretch
Construction work has begun on the most striking feature of the Motown Museum’s $55 million expansion.
New renderings released Wednesday reveal an updated design for the 40,000-square-foot building that will rise behind Hitsville, U.S.A., housing new exhibit space and a theater.
It’s the third and final phase of the museum’s expansion project, which was announced in 2016. At an event last month featuring dignitaries and Motown stars, the museum unveiled its first two stages of expansion work: a granite plaza out front and a complex dubbed Hitsville Next, situated in three houses along West Grand Boulevard.
The new designs feature some key changes from previous renderings, including concepts that were submitted to the Detroit Historic District Commission in 2017.
