The renovation took place on the fourth floor of a 1970s office building in Friendship Heights, revamping an 11,000-square-foot space. This upgraded facility houses news/talk station WMAL (105.9 FM) and sports station WSBN (630 AM). It also serves as a content hub for Westwood One, producing syndicated shows like The Chris Plante Show and America at Night, with occasional sports programming for the network. The "in-place" remodel ensured continuous operation throughout the upgrade.
The renovation included new on-air studios, production rooms, a newsroom, technical operations center, conference rooms, offices, a lobby, mailroom, and an employee lounge. Energy-efficient lighting and refreshed finishes were also added. Construction was phased to keep the station operational 24/7, ensuring no downtime during the overhaul.
