The team that renovated two floors of the 30-year-old KPBS broadcasting facility at San Diego State University did not have a plan set in stone. It had to revise its schedule multiple times to adjust to the needs of a TV and radio studio operating a floor or two below.
The $1.86-million project, completed in August 2011, included reconfiguring 1,075 sq ft of the first floor as a conference room/workspace and two offices. It also transformed the 24,000-sq-ft second floor into a multidisciplinary facility exemplifying "convergence"—a collaborative, open-space environment for radio, TV and Web teams.
