WPXI-TV



Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The WPXI complex is a 69,000 s.f. building housing a balance of state-of-the-art digital broadcasting and production facilities.

With a connection dating back to 1986, when REES completed a FACILITY BUSINESS PLAN®, WPXI asked REES to do further programming and planning in 2004.

For their latest facility, WPXI chose a 17 acre site on the very northern edge of the Pittsburgh city limits. The outstanding site presented many unique design challenges, including being surrounded on three sides by residential communities whose residents were hesitant to accept an imposing broadcast facility and 100-foot transmitter tower looming in their backyards.

The 69,000 s.f. structure houses a full complement of state-of-the-art digital broadcasting and production facilities, including high definition technology, a production studio, news studio, news room, offices, control rooms, and interior facilities.

As a direct result of the joint effort between WPXI executives and REES, the new facility is a seamless assembly of function and aesthetics that serves the welfare of the network, community, and the environment. The building is a testimonial of the strong presence of WPXI, both as a leader in the broadcast industry and as a member of the Pittsburgh community.
