Vegas PBS has completed its move into its new Education Technology Campus after more than a decade of planning and construction.
The eco-friendly building is home to Vegas PBS’ operations and production services in addition to its emergency alert efforts, and also supports the Clark County School District Virtual High School facilities, which focus on distance online education.
The 112,000-square-foot, $45 million building funded through a private and public partnership, was under consideration in 1999 after a Federal Communications Commission order requiring broadcasters to transition to digital broadcasting.
Vegas PBS provides broadcast TV and cable over seven channels with an additional six educational channels provided directly to Clark County School District classrooms.
Eight sites were considered before officials picked the 3000 block of East Flamingo Road, east of Eastern Avenue, officials said. The old studio off Flamingo Road is less than a mile to the west.
