PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA

WHYY, Inc. is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation which operates TV12 and 91FM, community public television and radio stations, respectively. Since 1979, the company occupied television and radio production and broadcasting facilities on Independence Square in downtown Philadelphia. WHYY made a commitment in 1998 to reinvent itself as “Regional Telecommunications Service for the 21st Century”. It completed a $15 million capital campaign to fund that transformation which includes a state-of-the-art 51,000 square foot facility and specialized studio and telecommunications equipment. Project team members included Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann (design) and L. F. Driscoll Co. (construction). The facility was completed in November 1999.
