The ARG! Building
The
ARG! studio facility is located in north-central Colorado Springs,
Colorado. This 3-story, 1,500 square foot building is on the former
Alexander Film Co. studio property, so it has a lot of history behind
it. It has 7MB Internet
service throughout, a break room with kitchenette and a 37" HDTV and
satellite dish. The first floor features 2 seats of Autodesk Maya, 2 large
format scanners, a video lab and quad core systems, each with 2 large monitors.
The building was built in 1946 as part of Alexander Film Studios, which at
the time was the world's largest producer of theatre and TV advertising,
including animated commercials. When the building was remodeled, it was
essentially made into a new building with new windows, doors, drywall,
carpets, stucco exterior, HVAC, and wiring. It's air conditioned, the
walls are extremely thick, and the windows are double glazed, so the
building is very quiet.
