The local news studio had remained unchanged since the 1980s. Trevor Downing took on the ambitious task of a complete gut renovation, transforming the outdated space into a modern broadcasting facility. This extensive renovation included the installation of new walls, a commercial drop ceiling, and custom-designed furniture specifically tailored to accommodate new broadcasting equipment.

Given the critical nature of this project, meticulous scheduling was essential. The news operation could not continue broadcasting during the renovation, making it imperative to complete the work efficiently and accurately to minimize downtime. Trevor and his team coordinated closely to ensure that every phase of the remodel was executed flawlessly, allowing the news station to resume its operations promptly once the updates were finalized.
