Scottish Television recently decided to build a new and more modern broadcast facility with a studio equipped with a complete Christie display wall solution. On the new building’s penthouse floor Christie also provided the projection equipment for the main boardroom/conference suite.
The Control Room Solution
When Scottish Television (part of the SMG plc) decided to vacate its cramped city center location in Cowcaddens in favor of the new Pacific Quay development overlooking the River Clyde, great care had to be given to the design and ergonomics of the new facility.
The task facing the station as it relocated to the new ‘Media City’ ( on the site previously used for the Glasgow Garden Festival), would be replacing 120,000 sq ft with just 65,000 sq ft of real estate, into which they would force an expanded infrastructure.
It is estimated that the total spend on equipping this post modern facility with its technology infrastructure will have been in the region of £10 million.
