Centennial Journalism Observer view newsroom extreme makeover

While most journalism students (except sports!) are off this summer earning money and making memories, construction has begun at the East York campus to make the Observer Newsroom a thing of beauty.  Take a look at the space as I saw it yesterday, as the program prepares for new furniture, new layout, new office space, new lighting and a major transformation of gear and equipment to make the Centennial Journalism program the best one in Toronto!
