AUSTRALIAN FILM TELEVISION & RADIO SCHOOL (AFTRS)

TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE PLANNING STRATEGIC ROADMAP

As one of the world’s pre-eminent film and television school, AFTRS strives to stay at the top of their field in the areas of education and broadcast media. They are consistently asking of themselves the best, so when it came time to prepare a strategic roadmap on the future of film and television technology, and how that could drive AFTRS strategic learning outcomes, they employed the best technology experts in the industry, Saber.

Saber was approached by AFTRS to perform a comprehensive and objective analysis of existing film and television trends in the industry, how that related to alumni outcomes and employment opportunities, and how in turn that should drive AFTRS strategy for capital and operational expenditure.

Extensive user requirements were gathered along with in-depth studies of space utilisation. These functional and learning requirements, in conjunction with benchmarking of other world-renowned facilities and Saber’s comprehensive understanding of media technology, led to a bold technology and space planning strategy that respects the pedigree of AFTRS, and enables them to pivot to set them up for a changing media environment.
