Will celebrate re-opening of Newhouse 2 building, after $18 million renovation 

SYRACUSE — Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications announced it will dedicate the new Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center on Sept. 29 on campus.

Special guest Oprah Winfrey will join students, alumni, media executives, and other VIPs to celebrate the re-opening of the school’s Newhouse 2 building, which is undergoing an $18 million renovation, the Newhouse School said in a news release.

The Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center will provide the school with a cutting-edge media facility for students to learn in while preparing for careers in the communications industry, the Newhouse School contends.

The complex’s features include:

  • Dick Clark Studios: Named for legendary entertainer and Syracuse University alumnus Dick Clark, the studios will be “a high-tech entertainment production environment rivaling many Hollywood studios,” the Newhouse School said in its release.
  • Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation: Named for Cablevision Industries founder Alan Gerry, the center will be a “creative hub” for linking Newhouse expertise in content development and production with the latest media technology and programming trends, the school said.
  • Digital News Center: This newsroom will be dedicated primarily to news, talk and magazine style production, with multimedia capabilities and a file-based digital-media environment.

The dedication celebration will include a daylong series of events, including academic symposia, remarks by Winfrey, a ribbon cutting at the Waverly Avenue entrance to Newhouse 2, and tours of the new facility, the release stated.
