ALULA Lighting Design provided lighting design for the Rogers Centre for Excellence. The project consisted of a total of 15,000 ft², located on the 3rd floor of Huntley Expansion at 1 Mount Pleasant Road, it also includes a redundant data centre for Sportnet in the basement of 333 Bloor. The Master Control Room is approximately 4,100 ft² while the computer room takes up roughly 2,400 ft² with an expansion of 1,100 ft².

Designed by Quadrangle Architects, Rogers Centre for Excellence was part of a larger master planning venture which allowed the merging of Rogers’s master control facilities which handled television, events and radio into one open plan design. The one of the key features of the open plan is to create the ability for staff members to monitor signals from anywhere within the space, which grants the ability adapt to support special programming without interfering with the day to day broadcasting operations.
