Design Study - The new MPT Center will be a highly professional facility in which the décor and ambience are reflective of a high end production center and/or post production facility. The MPT Center will be a place where students “want to learn”. The renovation of the Media Production & Technology Center has been a long awaited project. The basis of this new renovation project is to provide a new collaborative facility providing enhanced production capabilities and expanded capacity for students and faculty. While our primary goal was to design a facility where “students want to come and learn”, a delicate balance between state of the art technology and project budget needed to be addressed. High Definition digital video studio equipment including distribution, on-line editing, transmission and display devices offer the very best in picture quality, and it is important that ECC understands that it comes with a price. Providing the students with similar type equipment that they will be utilizing in the “real world” is essential.
