Springsteen’s archives will be housed on the second floor
Museum dedicated to musician Bruce Springsteen, which will be erected in New Jersey, was designed by the American architecture office CookFox Architects. With a brand name “Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music” (BSACAM), the museum will “celebrate the life, legacy and art of Bruce Springsteen within the larger history of American music” and will be located at Monmouth University where his archives are currently housed.
To design the building, the architectural firm drew from New Jersey’s industrial history as well as Springsteen’s signature “storytelling.” “Storytelling, possibly the motivation behind Springsteen’s career, as well as the making of the records, can also be experienced through the built environment» underlined the group of architects.

The space will have a wooden corridor leading to the building’s entrance and a two-storey entrance hall. The performance theater and exhibition spaces will be located to the right and left of it, while additional exhibition spaces will be on the floor below. Springsteen’s archives will be housed on the second floor. The archival collection includes nearly 35,000 items from 47 countries: vinyl records, textiles, DVDs, promotional material and more related to Springsteen. The collection will be “available to both amateurs and serious music scholars.”
The photos that have been released show a rectangular building with a large glass wall at one end and other smaller windows across its facade. The theater will be located on the front glass facade that faces the Monmouth University campus. The exterior will be covered with steel plates, chemically treated to give the impression of rust, and some of them will be rotated by different degrees each to reveal a glass facade behind. Images of the interior show rooms two stories high, equipped with listening spots, artwork and a large vinyl record collection.

The architectural firm will work with landscape architects LaGuardia Design Group to secure native plants to enhance local biodiversity and mitigate stormwater impacts. BSACAM is expected to be completed in 2026.
