University of Alabama College of Continuing Studies Learning Studios

Project lens / What the environment enables

Learning extended beyond the room.

The two-year project resulted in a new video production facility that includes two webcast studios for its e-learning initiative, part of a larger 100,000 square foot renovation project of the existing historic University Hall campus building which would be the new home to the College. The firm was tasked with building a studio with multiple presentation configurations that could easily be operated by both skilled and beginner staff. The solution was to include easily movable scenery, roll-down graphic backdrops and wall mounted push-button stations for different lighting positions. Housed in a former hospital, the building was completely demolished down to the concrete structure and re-built.

Provost served as an advisor over more than two years, providing key support to dream this project into being.
