Government Video — Over the last 37 years, the television studios at St. Cloud State University have undergone numerous upgrades, moving from a small basement to a state-of-the-art facility in 1988, with a massive facility re-build in the summer of 2013. The television production facility offers large (1,700 square-foot) and small (1,300 square-foot) soundstages, two production control rooms, two voice-over booths, a central equipment room, a media control room, a master control room, 12 editing suites, two training computer labs, a newsroom and an engineering department. The television studios are used by Mass Communications production and journalism courses and UTVS Television.
In the fall of 2012, the university’s president approved $4.8 million for a television studio upgrade, tapping into special reserved funds. After a year of developmental meetings, the need for a high-definition facility emerged.
This was either an all-in or all-out decision—we either do it or we don’t. Based on how the facility was built in the 1980s, we wanted to continue the tradition, and build it the same way they did, with the best professional equipment available.
