Our Two-Part Vision
Part 1:
To build a studio campus capable of hosting multiple productions of multiple sizes (cast & crew) at the same time.
-
200,000 square feet of space: its highest elevation is to be 40 feet under steel.
-
Welcome center for visitors, tourists and live TV audiences, screening room, exhibition/reception space. (East Pavilion)
-
Two floors of rentable office space (East Pavilion)
-
Public garden and outdoor exhibit space (Along New York Avenue)
-
Three (3) sound stages of varying sizes, to accommodate large to small productions. These spaces can also serve for tradeshow expos and special events (West Pavilion)
-
An on-site workshop for construction of sets, or any other wood work products, accessible from a side rail of the LIRR.
-
Make-up, dressing rooms, wardrobe and clothing storage. (West Pavilion)

Part 2:
To break tradition of building studio facilities in "plain big boxes" and instead create a breakthrough by focusing on the architectural design and public accessibility of this new production facility.
The vision is to build an environmentally friendly, sustainable, accessible and visually attractive campus that will serve the surrounding Huntington Station community with public gardens, spaces for cultural performances, and public exhibition facilities. It will also serve to transform the neighborhood by providing jobs and encouraging the further development of nearby retail shops, dining & cafes as well as hotels, and residences.
The campus will be a catalyst for attracting tourists, audiences, and visitors by car or train, to a new, revitalized neighborhood, so that Huntington Station will become a destination to "come to rather than go through."

Concept Gallery
Interior
The photos reflect the concept but not the final design. There will be a 199-seat auditorium that can serve as a screening room or as a TV studio where live programming can be streamed direct to the consumer. In addition, the sound stages will all include state-of-the-art green screen technology and the latest camera and recording equipment.

Bringing
Outdoor Elements, Indoors
The campus will be environmentally-friendly and the lobby area will be designed to expand the exterior public garden indoors with art installations that utilize living and preserved plant life and natural elements. The images reflect designs and renderings created by the preferred art installation vendor, Plant the Future.
