La Facultad de Comunicación Social-Periodismo inaugurated three new audiovisual production studios equipped with advanced technology on Wednesday to expand learning spaces for students.
- Three new specialized production stages were unveiled on November 11, 2026, at the university’s C building.
- The facilities include multicamera systems, professional lenses, stage lighting, and live broadcasting tools.
- University leadership presented the new spaces.
The inauguration featured a live talk-show style broadcast hosted by rector Hernando Parra Nieto and faculty dean Germán Arango, Universidad Externado de Colombia reported. These newly opened spaces occupy the university’s C building and house three distinct stages designed for media production and experimentation. Equipment installed across the rooms includes professional lenses, scenery elements, audio mixing consoles, and live streaming gear.
“Al inicio de mi rectoría esta idea era como un sueño lejano, pero hoy ver estos espacios materializados, son la muestra de que los sueños si se hacen realidad,” Parra Nieto told Universidad Externado de Colombia regarding the timeline of the project from conception to completion.
University officials positioned the lab rollout as a direct response to shifts in media consumption and domestic industry growth. The newly launched facilities—dedicated to audiovisual, sound, and podcasting experimentation—aim to prepare students for current professional requirements.
“Colombia es un país que se ha convertido en un gancho de producción audiovisual y creatividad; con las nuevas narrativas y formas de consumo mediático, la consolidación de estos estudios nos permite responder a las necesidades que demanda el profesionalismo actual,” Arango told Universidad Externado de Colombia.
