The landscape of media and entertainment has changed significantly over time from a soundstage hub into a more complete, amenity-rich campus for content creation. This content campus typology is more efficient, placing the aspects of the creative and production process in direct adjacency, but it also enhances the workplace appeal by virtue of the amenitization of the campus.
— Andy Lantz, Creative Director, Co-CEO
The demands of media integration, management, and technology require a greater ratio of office space to soundstage space, a trend driving the campus setting. With more production work taking place in an office setting alongside traditional soundstage and back lot functions, the overall relationship between production, support space, and office space is changing.
Traditionally, components of an industry are scattered across the city, but content creation can exist at the scale of the singular building. At the Spotify Campus in Downtown Los Angeles, an artist can arrive in the morning and over one day, consolidate the experiences of three days within a singular facility. The notion of the building as a campus choreographs unique moments of overlap between the spectrum of the industry — artists, music producers, podcast hosts, and more — to create a place where engagement, exchange, and celebration happen at once.
