7:31 pm
an amazing group of athletes. that is what i love about what i get to do every day. i get to represent the conference of championships -- of champions. this will be an amazing opportunity for our student- athletes and there are wonderful world class athletes in so many sports. with this network we will be able to showcase those stories and those athletes and i am sure attract new fans to many sports that they will be exposed to for the first time as a coach. we will get to continue to recruit worldwide and those parents will save on some air fare and be able to see their children compete. it is a wonderful and exciting opportunity for all of us and we appreciate your hard work in making it happen. thank you. >> thank you. the first is we are honored to

producers and programmers for oxygen network. spent over 15 years at abc sports and was an olympic speedskater in the 1984 olympics in sarajevo. [applause] so the action will start here pretty hot and heavy as soon as all the ceremony is over. we have a lot to get done. our construction co. is one of the finest in the country. marvin and mark are here somewhere. larry and i will take credit if we're up and running. if not it is their fault. no pressure. the mayor is watching, too. what we thought we would do next is to give you an idea. we have some of the schematic over there for you to look at the building. what we thought we would do is have one of the lead designers
7:35 pm
for the architecture firm hlw give you a three-d -- 3d tour. we will have ten more as we are developing the look and feel for the building. we want you to imagine what this space will look like in six or seven months. it will be quite a transformation. carlos from hlw will lead us through that door. -- that tour. carlos? [applause] >> good morning. a couple of things before we get started. we're excited to be working with pac 12 and we're working feverishly to capture the energy we saw in the video. there is no music to the video we will be showing so you'll have to do with my monotone voice for a while. if we could go to the portal view. we will walk you through the
7:36 pm
choice moments we've designed around the facility. we will get back to the portal. typically i am the one that controls this. give me one second. ok. what we will do is take you through the initial look at the site. what we have here is the portal. we wanted to create something that when you walk through you would feel a sense of crushing -- crossing a threshold. this was the idea of connecting different spaces with the sources of flight. go back in the other direction. push down, the down arrow.
7:37 pm
there we go. what we wanted to do is play off that idea of connecting spaces. the first thing you see as you enter the facility will be as to go through this portal, the pac 12 shield and it will have these strands of light coming through. these points of light. something we saw in that video is the lights pass through multiple services. we did not want to contain it to one wall. what you see is the idea of the lights going on multiple services, wrapping around the ceiling. -- multiple surfaces, wrapping around the ceiling. we wanted something that would play off the simple geometry so it would be clean and have a presence and we wanted to have some elements of the pac 12. we have created a detail that shows the details of the schools
7:38 pm
in the conference. within this lobby, it is a grand lobby and a big space. we wanted to start to condense the space is more to our human scale. here you see off the reception desk there will be a seating area. we started to articulate the ceiling and the floor surface. to give you a sense of being within a space within a larger space. in that zone, we will have a live feed of what is being broadcast outside the facility. the idea of we do know why you to forget where you are one to come in. he will start to see what is happening behind the scenes. -- you will start to see what is happening behind the scenes. there is the idea of what -- having an interactive digital medium. what you see is a projector and the idea is visitors and employees will go to the projection and play with the interactive -- it interactively. there is a coffee bar off the
7:39 pm
lobby. it is that space that goes off to the side so people will be able to go in. they feel as though they are not in the lobby. the idea again, it is a powerful idea. the language that is being set up as you saw in that video. the idea of flights being connected. space is being connected by these sources of light. -- the idea of lights being connected. we're also doing it in the ground. you see an l.e.d. source that will take you to the portal and the reception desk and the stairs that connect this space is at two levels. as you progress down the stair, we want to keep in mind where we are. it is a place where we are broadcasting sports. it is a fun space. it is a space that is not a sleek, modern office. some of the touches is there is a scoreboard. you see the scoreboard that pays
7:40 pm
homage to the advance where we are broadcasting but it gives you an -- up-to-date scores of what is happening, what will be on tv, what is planning live in the studio. -- playing live in the studio. as we wrap down the staircase, this is something that is in the west coast, so we wanted to go straight through. a lot of the inspiration is based on the great outdoors. what you see here is black lines, representative of cable, steel rods that come down. that idea out of walking down next to a waterfall is something we wanted to mimic. as you walk down the staircase, there's the sharing of the lights, the material that you can rub your hands next year. on the right side, you will see our interpretation of what it would feel like to walk next to a waterfall. you have a reconstituted would
7:41 pm
wall. if you -- you are not going to get a splinter. it will be textured enough so that you will want to rub your hands against the wall. it is more of an experience. and the last thing we will show on this mini tour is the space we are extremely excited about. we have created another portal within the space that is off the lobby. it gives you a view into the studio. we're in the lobby, you get a direct view of the tv. as you walk through, you see this from a different point of view. that is a short synopsis. we're still working on it. it gives you a pretty good sense, a flavor of what the facility will be. [applause] >> ok, so the construction guys
