The New Broadcasting House Project is the BBC's largest capital development project ever. Its aim is to create a dynamic and flexible 21st century broadcast centre in the heart of London.
State-of-the-art
When complete in 2012, this 80,000 square
metre structure will provide state-of-the-art production and broadcast
facilities for BBC Audio & Music, BBC News and BBC World Service,
and be the hub of the BBC's national and international live output.
Global
At any one time, over ten million people across the UK will watch or listen to output from the new Broadcasting House, and every week at least 150 million people worldwide will tune into the BBC World Service networks.
Creative
The new Broadcasting House Project will also call upon top architects, designers and artists, in order to create a truly inspirational workplace for the organisation that aims to be the most creative in the world.
It will also create a brand new landmark for central London.
Independently funded
The Project is paid for by a public-private partnership involving a special bond – so no licence fee monies are involved in the development.
