LinkedIn Studios

The design of the 11,000 SF studio for LinkedIn’s Media Productions team included two sound stages, audio recording studios, green rooms, editing studios, and VIP reception lounges with conference areas and open-plan workspaces for creative collaboration.

The studio is designed to foster creativity and support highly technical video production processes. The design seamlessly blends workspaces for visioning, storyboarding, and workshopping with state-of-the-art studio environments, bringing creative and technical teams under one roof to streamline video-on-demand and live broadcast content production.

The heart of the new studio is The Garage, a fresh take on the traditional meeting room that offers employees a place where they can think creatively and ideate freely. The design picks up on the West Coast tradition of great ideas being born in garages, to offer a one-of-a-kind conference room. A giant bi-fold door opens into the polished concrete space, offering a refined update on the no-frills garage aesthetic.

Sustainability was a key driver of the design. The retrofit re-uses the entire core and shell of the existing building and makes interventions as required to optimize the acoustic environment, minimizing carbon impact.
