Momentum is building at Montana State University as the MT PBS and Visual Communications Building embarks on a transformative chapter. This addition and renovation not only modernizes facilities but also strengthens the bridge between education, technology, and public service.

At the heart of this project is Montana PBS – a trusted voice for storytelling across the state – whose evolving technical and operational needs call for a design that is both highly specialized and deeply adaptable. Our approach balances the precision of advanced broadcast infrastructure – power, lighting, acoustics, and spatial planning – with the flexibility to embrace future technologies not yet imagined. Beyond technical mastery, the design cultivates opportunity: spaces that invite MSU students into the world of live production, empower educators with new tools, and enrich communities with greater access to public media.

With careful stewardship of resources, we are navigating the challenges of a complex renovation within a tight budget while keeping focus on the broader mission. This is more than an expansion of walls and studios – it is an investment in Montana’s voice, preparing PBS and MSU for decades of shared storytelling, innovation, and community connection.
