Good to hear, that.

Having 'commissioned' the studio, modified it in various ways (which included making it capable of handling General Elections) I can only say I was pleased to 'leave it behind' in 2003. Frankly, it was 'a dog' to work on.
Originally built by IPE, who did a wonderful job given the impositions made (such as the large amount of glass they were being saddled with) it's been used well beyond the lifespan it was originally intended for.
I hope it gets a decent burial.
