This project
transforms a once cluttered, single-purpose space into a modern, high-tech,
multifunctional studio that meets the evolving needs of the mass communications
department. Thoughtful space planning repositions the studio, establishing a
direct link to the building lobby and giving the studio director clear
oversight of both visitors and students. Increased transparency enhances the
studio’s visibility, allowing students and passersby to observe its operations.
Materials were carefully selected to reflect the university’s brand, bring
warmth to the formerly bare masonry walls, and enhance spatial connections. An
ACM-wrapped portal leads to a stained wood wall, highlighted by an “ON-AIR”
sign that draws attention to the studio’s activity. This wood feature invites
people into the television studio, which is further transformed by an acrylic
wrap that evokes the wings of NCCU’s Eagle mascot. Though the studio’s
footprint remains unchanged, it now serves as an open, dynamic learning
environment that reveals the broadcasting infrastructure.
