A new Communication Department teaching lab, video editing bays and UTC TV Studio lobby are all under construction in the Metro Annex building.

“We are thrilled to have this brand new space,” Professor Mike Andrews, communication instructor and TV Studio manager, said.  “The entire campus can benefit from this project.”

A new Communication Department lab takes shape from three old offices and a conference room near the UTC TV Studio.

Crews began in the summer by demolishing the east side of the building that previously housed Student Health Services.  A new entrance on the Oak Street side will lead in to the TV studio and areas.

The work is expected to be complete later this fall or early in the spring 2013 term.
