News Corporation

As part of a longstanding relationship with News Corp. since 2002, AD’s team has provided design and consulting services for recording, production and post-production facilities at News Corp’s NYC headquarters including four tv studios, radio studios, interactive studios and an insert studio. Notable challenges included bringing Fox News Radio studios from Schematic Design to On-Air within 10 weeks. This studio broadcasts 5-minute news casts to over 360 stations nationwide. Television studio work supported environments for news and entertainment programming as well as interactive studios to support breaking news reports broadcasts. AD’s scope of work included facilities design and acoustics consulting for a variety of situations ranging from vehicular noise control in street-level TV studios, vibration control for the 6th Avenue subway, and base-building mechanical equipment noise. Airborne and structure-borne sound and vibration assessments required use of narrow-band noise and vibration measurements.
