Edward
R. Murrow Addition
The
Murrow Legacy Lives and Grows at Washington State
“World
class” is
taking shape in the form of the addition to the Edward R. Murrow
School of Communication on the Washington State University Campus.
The
$12.7 million dollar, 24,000+ square foot red brick and glass
building will be completed in the spring of 2004 and will house
research and teaching labs, a digital TV news studio, faculty
offices and a 172-seat classroom auditorium.
New
computer labs will allow faculty and students to conduct nationwide
surveys, measure psycho-physiological responses to communication,
and evaluate online research.
The
construction site is on the former green zone parking lot just
west of the existing Murrow complex and just north of Thompson
Hall.
The
Murrow School is the only comprehensive communication school
in Washington, including programs in broadcasting, print journalism,
advertising, public relations and communication studies.
Communication has about 700 majors and 750 pre-majors, making
it one of the most popular and fastestgrowing programs at WSU. About the Edward R. Murrow Award
The
Murrow Award recognizes a person or organization exemplifying
the professional standards of Edward R. Murrow. Journalists today
still observe, admire, and emulate his standards.
Murrow
graduated from Washington State University in 1930. This annual
award and the symposium celebrate his achievements and renew
our pledge to use his example as the standard by which we teach
the journalists and communication professionals of tomorrow.
