NBC has announced that it plans to build a state-of-the-art Green facility to house its West Coast News Headquarters. The project will be the new home of NBC News in Los Angeles, as well as of local stations KNBC, KVEA and the show “Access Hollywood.” The project will seek LEED Silver certification, and is on track to be completed by 2011. NBC has also announced that it will seek to obtain LEED certification for its ongoing operations.
“The West Coast News Headquarters is an incredibly exciting project on the horizon that will set a new standard for newsgathering and environmental design,” said NBC News President Steve Capus. The new facility will be the anchor tenant at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Red Line Subway Station in Universal City, directly across the street from Universal Studios and Universal Studios Hollywood theme park and CityWalk. It is part of a proposed development by Thomas Properties Group.
