A September 17 media briefing showed the interior, including creator desks. The Main Studio building is split into three areas: Focus for individual immersion, Tuning for information sharing, and Resonance for meetings and screenings. A Creator Academy building sits inside Sunshine 60.","whyItMatters":"The stated premise is hiring and retention rather than capacity: Studio One Base Corporation president Tsuyoshi Kikuchi said creative production staff are not receiving sufficient benefits while the number of young people entering the industry falls, so the hub is built around working conditions and training space.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe desks were the point of the walkthrough. KADOKAWA\u0026#39;s Studio One Base adopts custom-made adjustable desks whose width changes with the task, built so vibration from one station does not reach another. Partitions and other elements use dark tones to cut visual information, and indirect ceiling lighting is meant to reduce reflections on monitors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetwork infrastructure runs on a 10 Gbps backbone, sized for the large data volumes anime production generates.
