Where was the new Band RS headquarters built?

The new headquarters of Band RS, Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação's broadcaster in Rio Grande do Sul, was built in Building 50 at TecnoPUC, the technology park of PUCRS University. The facility covers 900 m² and was built by CH3 to an architectural design by MMAC Arquitetura.

• Design: MMAC Arquitetura
• Construction: CH3
• Area: 900 m²
• Location: Building 50, TecnoPUC RS

Why TecnoPUC

By moving into TecnoPUC Business, Band RS became part of the PUCRS innovation ecosystem. The choice of address reflects the broadcaster's aim of bringing together talent and technology for news production, in an environment focused on innovation.

What was built in the 900 m²

Within that floor area, CH3 built a complete content production facility:

• two radio studios, for Band News FM and Rádio Bandeirantes
• three TV studios
• a newsroom
• office spaces, including administrative and executive areas

MMAC Arquitetura's design has a modern, technology-driven language. In the administrative and executive areas, the blue wall coverings contrast with the light tones of the furniture, and the corridor connecting to the technical area has linear LED lighting. The visual identity incorporates the brand's colors.

The move to the new headquarters

The transition to Building 50 required close alignment between CH3's engineering teams, the architecture firm and Band RS. At peak times, up to 60 service providers worked simultaneously in different areas of the job, with the infrastructure needed to ensure redundancy of systems vital to a broadcaster, such as air conditioning, electrical, the generator set and transmission antennas.
