KTVW CHANNEL 33 TELEVISION STUDIO
As CM at Risk, Chanen Construction Company built the KTVW Channel 33 television station in Phoenix, Arizona. Channel 33 is part of a national chain of stations.

The Channel 33 campus is approximately 35,000-sq-ft. of multi-functional space housing station offices the on-air broadcast studio, technical and production electronics areas, as well as naturally landscaped outdoor areas designed for outdoor remote broadcasting and staff and group entertainment. A separate underground parking garage hides beneath the site.

Exterior building construction utilizes rammed earth, which is an ancient construction technique designed to make use of native earth for part of the building's structural elements. A new specification and inspection section was incorporated into city code to coincide with the first commercial rammed earth structure in Phoenix. Cor-ten metal cladding, along with rammed earth exterior, give the building a strikingly modern appearance that also blends with the natural colors surrounding it.
