The transformation of the former Carraway Methodist Medical Center campus continues, with plans underway to convert the former emergency room into a new indoor entertainment venue near downtown Birmingham.

The indoor venue will be part of the broader redevelopment of the 45-acre Carraway site, which is now home to the Coca-Cola Amphitheater, welcoming more than 174,000 fans since June, and nearly 30 live shows in its first year.

While specific details about the entertainment concept have not yet been released, construction on the indoor venue and renovation of the former emergency room space is expected to begin in June or July.

Overall redevelopment of the former Carraway campus is expected to take between five and seven years, with multiple projects launching in phases throughout 2026 helping set the stage for continued growth at the historic site.
