NATIONAL
PUBLICATION FEATURES THE LAWRENCE GROUP'S WORK ON THE EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS
"POWERHOUSE"
RadioInk magazine named Emmis Communications’ “Powerhouse”
building at St. Louis Union Station as one of the “World’s Best
Radio Facilities.” Featured in the April 28, 2003 issue of the publication,
the facility houses Emmis’ five St. Louis FM stations, KSHE, KPNT,
KIHT, KFTK and WMLL.
Emmis worked with The Lawrence Group to create an interior in which
each area of the facility has its own identity. The design team
used the original ceiling at different levels to create visual interest.
The building’s main entrance features large double doors with “Powerhouse”
etched in stone above them. Upon entering, visitors encounter two
on-air studios, one with full glass exposure.
“What was originally a two-station facility is now a five-station
facility,” noted Sam Caputa, chief engineer of Emmis Communications.
“We’ve been able to use the space efficiently to make a very workable
situation, rather than a squeezed, comprised facility.”
The exterior of the “Powerhouse” building is a replica of the old
Union Electric Railroad power generating station, including the
original smokestack. Inside is a technical complex, which includes
the studios, seven production rooms, central rack room and programming
offices. An administrative area houses conference rooms and manage-
ment offices.
“We really wanted to design a space that was functional for business
purposes, but also original to coincide with the feel and character
of Emmis Communications and its employees,” said Bridget Bogan,
The Lawrence Group senior associate.
ST. CHARLES COUNTY FEATURED WITH OTHER NATIONAL
COMMUNITIES IN TWO NATIONAL MAGAZINES
St. Charles County garnered national attention recently in two feature
articles on the rising popularity of mixed-use developments.
“Over The Boomburb Rainbow,” the cover story in the May issue of
Plants, Sites & Parks focuses on today’s corporate environment
of “businesses following the workers,” and discusses St. Charles
County along with other prominent national collar counties such
as Arlington, Texas; Anaheim, Calif.; Henderson, Nev.; and Tucson,
Ariz.
The April issue of Real Estate Forum also featured St. Charles
County with other prominent communities nationally such as Houston,
Texas.; Washington, D.C.; and Sarasota, Fla. “Mastering The Master-Planned
Project” highlights WingHaven and MasterCard International’s Global
Technology and Processing Center, which is home to more than 2,000
information technology professionals.
St. Charles County—which has added 12 new jobs a day for a decade—was
ranked among the fastest growing areas in the U.S. and according
to the 2002 U.S. Census has accounted for 61 percent of the population
growth for the 12-county greater St. Louis metropolitan bi-state
area.
