With a focus on the pertinent technologies, Laurie Fruth, writing in Campus Technology magazine discusses the motivation and planning for what is now the fifth-largest building on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas:

Moving from an analog tape-based environment to a high-definition file-based facility was challenging but rewarding for both faculty and students. The old facility was built in the 1960s, and cobbled together with donated equipment, isolated edit bays, and antiquated wiring. Precious classroom time was lost while old equipment was repaired or while the campus engineer tried to devise ways to make disparate production systems work together. As technology evolved in the broadcast industry, administration knew that that the costly move to a file-based production process was greatly needed. The Greenspun gift made discussions toward this move possible. The campus began outlining what was needed in a new facility to best serve journalism students today, while gearing them up to the industry’s best multimedia news professionals of tomorrow . . . With the new facility and the latest in state-of-the-art production technology, it’s a goal the school is well on its way to achieving.
