Franklin Hall is home to Kent State's School of Journalism & Mass Communication. The 1926 building underwent an extensive two-year renovation and expansion and re-opened in 2007. Since then, it has provided a place for students to get hands-on experience and develop a multiple media mindset.

The building features an HD digital television studio, a converged student media newsroom, a high-tech Internet radio station, state-of-the-art focus group room and other rooms that encourage teamwork.

These technology-filled rooms are just the start. Franklin Hall was built for future flexibility, and it's still evolving. The Co-Lab has updates.
