As of 2008, KWUR has a brand spankin' new recording studio in the Danforth University Center. This beautiful space is completely soundproofed, filled with state of the art equipment, managed by trained KWUR studio technicians and has a fiber optic link to the KWUR air studio. This space will be open to any Washington University student, student group, or anyone in the St. Louis community who wishes to use it. We're still working out a few kinks with the equipment and figuring out how exactly the space will be run, but we're planning a grand opening for October 13th, 2008. Once open, we aim to provide professional recording quality at amateur prices.
