GL Photo Album - Page Eight

Guiding Light's future home will be at Hudson River Studios. The studios are going to be built on top of the St. John's Building shown below. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 1998. GL is scheduled to begin filming there in January 2000.

The addition to the building will be 320,000 square feet, doubling the height of the existing building. There will be five studios total, two of them being used for Guiding Light and As The World Turns. The two shows will use 40% of the total studio space.

The studios will have 35-foot-high ceilings. Cars will be able to drive around on the fourth floor to film car scenes. Two freight elevators will be built to bring up cars, equipment, and other props.

The building will have not only production studios, but post-production edit suites, a set construction shop, dressing rooms, stoarge space, and production offices. There will also be a cafe, terrace, children's play area, and a gym.

The St. John's Building is on the border of Soho and Greenwich Village in New York City, New York.
