RENOVATION NEWS

 Phase 2 of the renovation project has been completed !!

This phase is for the construction of the interior of the multi-channel suite, which has been designed for optimal 5.1 surround sound mixing & editing.

Phase 1 of the renovation project to our 3rd floor production studios created a more friendly and efficient space that maximizes access to recent equipment acquisitions.

Improvements include:

• a new media lab that provides users with privacy and a quiet environment to work in
• a ventilated “machine room” that contains noisy external data storage devices while creating easier access to use these drives in concert with computerized editing stations
• a properly proportioned room for situating Video Pool’s 5.1 surround sound audio system
• a reception desk and technicians’ workstation allowing staff to assist members as soon as they enter the space and monitor access to technical resources
• the creation of a comfortable Member Lounge that encourages a sense of community among Video Pool’s many users
