BLAST RADIO BROADCAST STUDIOS
UNIVERSITY OF WEST LONDON
Broadcast facilities were created for the Ealing School of Music, Art, Design and Media at the University of West London.
VA worked closely with the school academics, technicians and principle contractor Willmott Dixon to create studios that reflect the latest ideas and industry practices so students gain real world, applicable experience.
Two radio broadcast studios were created, one larger teaching studio with cameras over the desk and screens as aids to support teaching, and another smaller studio for students to use independently.
