Entertainment & Broadcast
When it comes to entertainment, shifting customer demands for media, connectivity, live broadcast and on-demand streaming are a few factors that drive entertainment, television, radio and digital media facilities toward a future that is powered by intelligent buildings and reliable mechanical and electrical systems. Syska Hennessy Group understands and has been instrumental in designing HVAC and electrical systems for various types of entertainment projects such as ESPN headquarters in Los Angeles. We know the need for reliability is paramount to support 24/7/365 operations, requiring redundant systems for power and HVAC. Entertainment companies are managing more sources and data, tailoring content for more outlets than ever—demanding uplink, downlink, integration, satellite and high-speed connectivity. Such requirements demand expertise, knowledge and partnership that Syska provides during design and beyond.
We bridge the gap between technology, integration and facilities by designing the critical systems, including MEP, security, audiovisual, smart-building controls, information and communications technology, fire protection and commissioning.
We have successfully designed these systems for entertainment and broadcast companies’ amazing facilities, including LA LIVE, ABC (New York), Bloomberg (New York), CBS Studio Center (Studio City), DirecTV (El Segundo), E! Entertainment (LA), ESPN (Los Angeles), Fox News Sports (Minneapolis), MGM (Century City), RAI International (New York), Rose Bowl Media Broadcast Center (Pasadena) and Sesame Workshop (New York).
