New USC Capital Campus Studio Puts Students at the Center of Global Communications and Public Discourse

The USC Capital Campus will soon be home to a state-of-the-art multimedia production studio — made possible by a $5-million grant from USC Life Trustee Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation. The new studio will position USC Annenberg students and Trojans at the epicenter of media, communications and public discourse in Washington, D.C.

Open to all USC students, faculty, staff, alumni and partners, the multimedia center will be designed for flexibility with optimization for video and audio streaming on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. The street-level Wallis Annenberg Studio with its wrap-around window will offer a front-row seat as USC multimedia storytellers cover breaking news, debates, elections, interview national and global leaders, and conduct live broadcasts.

“There is no better time — or place — for our students to engage with the policies and people shaping our world. The Annenberg Foundation’s bold investment will empower students to develop their skills as intellectually rigorous, ethically grounded storytellers who produce content that informs, inspires and drives critical conversations.”

Located in the heart of Dupont Circle, the USC Capital Campus was established by USC President Carol Folt in 2023 as a vibrant campus for experts, researchers and students to learn and listen, connect and share views on the national stage. The founding vision for the 60,000-square-foot building included a leading-edge multimedia studio space that would further amplify these conversations.
