A new home for new media

This project provides:

  • a green-screen studio linked to the newsroom and other creative production suites, enabling production of video content
  • a collaborative news production area with an editorial hub, including workstations and monitors to stream live TV news channels
  • editing booths for audio and audiovisual editing, and to conduct recorded interviews in acoustically quiet spaces
  • a creative media lab and workspace for the production of physical media
  • shared computer spaces for students to work together on a single digital production
  • agile creative spaces for collaborative learning and team projects.

Supporting student learning

The new Newsroom and Creative Media Lab is ideal for students studying a range of our communication and creative arts degrees.

It also supports the journalism and digital media specialisations in the Master of Communication.
