The media content landscape is evolving rapidly. New formats and distribution options require agile and responsive production teams, who also need updated tech-rich workplaces that facilitate creativity and collaboration. Eliminating spatial divisions between production, broadcast, and wider business units can create a more integrated and equitable workplace experience while also facilitating better creative workstreams.
After decades operating workplaces distributed across Manhattan, Disney’s media teams came together in a multi-disciplinary vertical creative campus designed by Gensler. To facilitate connection and community, we anchored the new 1.2 million-square-foot headquarters around shared gathering places such as a great room, theater, reading room, conference center, and work café. The building’s daylit 190,000-square-foot central newsroom and its media-ready workplaces establish a seamless platform where creative teams produce media for any format.
The company’s new NYC headquarters affirms its long history as a creative icon. With a design that seamlessly integrates production functions directly into the workplace, the NYC HQ will be able to anticipate evolving media workflows and future advancements in technology and formats. The new workplace is poised to attract, retain, and empower top creative and news talent, and reinforce Disney as a leader in the media industry.
