communication and increase the speed of news fl ow.”
The new state-of-the-art newsroom is predominately-open plan, with workstations orientated towards a master control room at the centre of the space. This provides the team visibility of a news story as it breaks and allows for “quick and effective sharing of information with their audiences.” The editorial team can observe the entire operation from a central meeting room, bordered by spaces for
“brainstorming” sessions. The layout also supports multimedia collaboration with a variety of meeting rooms and settings that double up as ‘on-fl oor’ studio spaces, providing a more informal backdrop for interviews when required. Two broadcast studios have been designed to the “highest standards” of anti-vibration, lighting control and acoustic separation, said Scott Brownrigg, with access to a dedicated green room and makeup facilities.
