JAMESTOWN – Students studying media arts at Jamestown Community College’s Jamestown Campus will benefit from future expansion and renovation of facilities. Earlier this month the JCC board of trustees approved a resolution that initiates an estimated $750,000 project, tentatively scheduled to be completed in spring 2014. Funding will be provided by the state construction fund, capital chargeback revenue, and JCC Foundation support.
Included in the college’s five-year capital master plan and recommended by program review panels for JCC’s media arts and communication programs, the project will provide significant upgrades in equipment for JCC’s Associate in Science degree program in media arts. The expansion and renovation will take place on the south side of the Hamilton Collegiate Center adjacent to Artworks, home of the college’s visual art and communication programs.
The upgraded facilities and equipment will benefit several courses, including Introduction to Television Production, Digital Video Production, Rhetoric of Vision and Sound, Introduction to Broadcasting, and Studio Production Practicum. In addition, the creation of new facilities will allow for course development in areas such as multimedia integration, television news production, and television drama integrated with theatre.
