UNLV-TV and KUNV-FM

Russ Berger Design Group provided acoustical and interior architectural design for the broadcast portion of the new Greenspun College of Urban Affairs (journalism and media studies) at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. The new facility enables journalism and media studies faculty and students to explore the limits of new technologies and to develop innovative partnerships between traditional and emerging media.

The 28,000 sq. ft. all-digital, high definition broadcast facility includes two television studios, non-linear editing bays, three radio production and performance studios, writing labs, advanced editing labs, a converged media lab, and a 200-seat auditorium built to accommodate video and audio production. UNLV-TV and KUNV-FM are both working broadcast stations that are also used for student instruction.

In keeping with the college’s mission to improve the quality of urban life, Greenspun Hall contains several sustainable design elements, including an energy-conserving photovoltaic array covering the courtyard and a chilled-beam heating and cooling system. The project has earned LEED ® Gold certification.
