WAMU 88.5, the public radio news and information station licensed to American University, will move from its current location in Tenleytown to 4401 Connecticut Ave., NW. AU is renovating the seven-story, 96,000 square foot building to meet the station’s current and future space needs, and provide an environment for programming growth. The station is expected to occupy more than half of the space, as the remaining space will be utilized for other university academic and administrative purposes. AU architects are working with station management to implement a rapid design-build process with the goal of WAMU 88.5 broadcasting from its new home in the summer of 2013.
