New Work ::: Contemporary Art Museum (CAM)

Brooks + Scarpa has just completed a new 22,300 ft2 Museum located in the Historic Depot District of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The near $6m Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) is defined by its expressive entry canopy and features exhibition spaces, archive and art storage, an educational centre, offices, a catering kitchen and a sculpture garden. Formed from an existing two-story brick structure the new museum balances the previous aesthetic with a spartan interior of industrial material and concrete.
