A new 2 story 17,500 SF Cable News Facility with lower level parking. Axis between the State Capital Building and University of Texas Tower influenced the form and interior spatial relationships of the building. “Texas Stone” is used on the fin walls which define the edge of the property while the skewed tower relates to the axis bisecting the site, providing optimal views to the Capital Building making up the backdrop for the News Anchors. Included in the facility are a state of the art Anchor Studio, Master Control Room, Weather Studio and 8,000 SF of Corporate Office Space.
