Emmis Studio for KZLA and KPWR radio stations. |
Syska Hennessy Group coordinated the needs of two different operating environments
while providing state of the art 24/7 uptime for a 24/7 operation. Based on
our previous broadcast experience with clients KIIS FM and Big City Radio,
our market focus entertainment team was chosen to design the building systems
for a 26,000 sq. ft. facility.
Our client asked the design team to design their new space, headquartered
in a Burbank high rise building, to have the flexibility to house four on-air
studios, six production studios, a voice-tracking studio, a mixing studio,
an announce booth and a conference studio.
The design team provided innovative
solutions that included integrating the new KZLA facilities within the existing
facilities of KPWR already located
in the space, while providing a face-lift to the entire floor. The consolidation
of the two stations was completed without disrupting KPWR’s or KZLA’s
on-air operations. This involved careful phasing of the construction on
the documents and separation of some key systems to maintain operation.
As part
of our design effort we worked within the tight confines of a high-rise
building providing detailed drawings and renderings indicating the locations
for a
new generator, UPS and 24 hour HVAC for team and building approval.
