Cobb Galleria Centre, Georgia’s premier mid-size convention venue for tradeshows, meetings, and special events, is set to undergo a transformational expansion and renovation to secure its position as a top-tier facility within the state and beyond. The project will bring state-of-the-art facilities, additional connectivity to The Battery and Cumberland Community Improvement District, and enhanced guest experiences.
Scheduled to break ground in late 2025, the revitalization of Cobb Galleria Centre involves demolishing the existing Galleria Specialty Shops and second-floor meeting rooms to make way for a 2-story grand lobby. The addition of a new junior ballroom and 25,000 square feet of modern meeting space will offer advanced graphics and technology to meet diverse event needs. The project will also add 19,000 square feet of new prefunction space, along with two unique outdoor courtyards that infuse natural light into the building’s expanded interior. A newly designed parking structure with covered, all-weather access will enhance visitor convenience.

The project includes extensive renovations across the venue’s existing spaces, including upgrades to the exhibition hall, ballroom, prefunction, rotunda, concourse, and back-of-house areas. Upon completion in 2027, this transformation will ensure the venue remains Georgia’s premier convention center, achieving high standards on both state and national levels. Bob Voyles, Vice Chairman of the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, emphasized that this is one of the most consequential projects in the venue’s history.
