ATLANTA—The Cobb Convention Center Atlanta has reopened and unveiled a new logo after a four-month closure while undergoing a $190 million renovation and expansion project aimed at modernizing the venue and expanding its meeting and event capabilities.
Formerly known as the Cobb Galleria Centre, the mid-size convention and events facility closed in September 2025 for extensive renovations to its exhibit halls, ballroom, and common areas. Additional expansion work will continue through early 2027, but the convention center will remain open to host trade shows, expos, meetings, conventions, and social events.
The rebranding reflects the property’s broad transformation. The new logo features a dynamic, radial “C” intended to convey energy, movement, and connection, reflecting the convention center’s role as a hub for events in Cobb County and metro Atlanta.
Completed renovation work includes upgrades across the exhibit halls, which now feature tunable LED lighting with multiple color temperatures and color-changing capabilities, renovated restrooms, refreshed fixed food outlets, and a new Grab N’ Go market in Hall A. The ballroom and pre-function areas have been updated with new carpet, wall coverings, chandeliers, wood finishes, lighting systems, sound equipment, and renovated restrooms. The rotunda has been refreshed with new terrazzo flooring, glass railings, and wood finishes, with a signature sculptural chandelier scheduled for installation in April. New fixed and digital signage has been installed throughout the facility. The convention center’s kitchen has been fully renovated with all-new equipment, including a dedicated pastry kitchen and an expanded pantry.
Work is now underway on the final demolition of the former Galleria Specialty Shops, clearing space for the next phase of expansion. Planned additions include a two-story grand entryway, a 7,200-square-foot junior ballroom, and a significant expansion of meeting space. The project will add 11 new meeting rooms and an executive boardroom, creating a total of 24,000 square feet of flexible, state-of-the-art meeting space. The meeting spaces will feature enhanced graphics, upgraded audiovisual systems, and improved technology infrastructure to support modern presentations and hybrid meetings.
Several of the new meeting rooms will be connected to an 11,000-square-foot outdoor event courtyard and a separate garden, allowing natural light to filter into interior conference spaces and offering additional options for receptions and networking events.
The expansion also includes new connected parking with covered, all-weather access to the facility.
The project will deliver a net increase of 13,000 square feet of indoor event space. Once completed, the expanded venue will offer 377,000 square feet of event space, four exhibition halls, two ballrooms, 11 meeting rooms, and one executive boardroom.
