Clickspring Design Announces Completion of NBC's New World Headquarters in New York

The Clickspring Design team, led by principal Erik Ulfers, is proud to announce the launch of the new NBC/MSNBC World News Center at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The vision of centralizing the news- gathering and production capabilities of NBC/MSNBC News was realized this morning at 6:00 EDT with the launch of the network's World News Center in the GE building at Rockefeller Center in New York City. The task of creating the environment for what is essentially the brain-center for one of the world's leading news organizations was awarded to Clickspring Design earlier this year.

The NBC News Center is an 8,000 square foot state-of-the-art studio that links NBC Nightly News and MSNBC through a sixty-one foot long corridor that serves as the brain center of the network's news broadcasts. Ulfers and Clickspring team Lori Nadler, Shweta Vora, Tarrant Smith, and Peter Provost have created a set that is ultra-modern in both its visual appearance and functional capabilities. More than 280 high definition monitors provide the capability of presenting multiple aspects of any story. Stations for over 60 journalists, producers, and editors working in real time are included in the broadcasts, underscoring the enormous effort and manpower that the news programs require. Further, the environment is a minute-to-minute barometer of how critical the news climate is: LED technology enables the entire studio to shift in color sensibility.

The combination of the NBC and MSNBC new organizations has been a project 10 years in the making. Up until today, MSNBC studios were located in New Jersey. The previous MSNBC studios had also been designed by Erik Ulfers. Said Ulfers, "It was an incredible opportunity to put these two news teams into an environment that recognizes their individual profiles, and at the same time identifies their shared heritage. That they are visually and physically connected gives viewers the sense that there is a powerful and dedicated group working with the most sophisticated means available to bring them the news."
