- The $28 million naming gift to the J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication provided nearly $750,000 to renovate the broadcast and production facilities of the Instructional Media Center – the “classrooms” of the college’s Broadcast and Electronic Communication program and the home of MUTV, the student operated campus television station. These upgrades began in May of 2006 and were completed by the start of the fall semester in August of that year.
-
- The broadcast production studios and suites occupy some 10,000 square feet – nearly the entire second floor of historic Johnston Hall. These spaces include two large television studios as well as numerous editing suites and digital production/post-production stations. The recent upgrades replaced traditional analog gear with current HD–ready digital technology including new video/audio switching, video graphics creation, digital video formats, a video server, plasma display monitoring, teleprompters, wireless microphones and intercom.

- This equipment makes Marquette’s Broadcast and Electronic Communication program one of the few HDTV capable schools in the country.The IMC provides five Avid Xpress Pro non-linear editing stations for digital video post-production. These systems are networked to a 4 Terabyte server for central storage and hosting of projects.
