The ARG! Building

The ARG! studio facility is located in north-central Colorado Springs, Colorado.  This 3-story, 1,700 square foot building is on the former Alexander Film Company studio property, so our building has a lot of history behind it. It has high speed wifi throughout, and a break room with kitchenette. 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. On the second floor is our edit bay and 2 Flash workstations with Wacom Cintiqs®.  The 3rd floor houses our sales, bookkeeping misc. operations. The building was built in 1946 as part of Alexander Film Studios, which was the world's largest producer of theatre and TV advertising, including animated commercials. When the building was remodeled in 2002, 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. We love our studio and our jobs!
