SUNY Westchester Community College is expanding opportunities for aspiring content creators, filmmakers, podcasters, and storytellers with the opening of a new professional green screen production studio at its Peekskill Center.
Located at 27 North Division Street, Peekskill, NY 10566, the new facility features a fully immersive green screen environment, with every wall, the floor, and the ceiling designed for chroma key production. Connected directly to the studio is a dedicated recording booth, allowing users to capture high-quality audio while producing professional video content. Together, the spaces provide an ideal environment for podcasting, film production, interviews, instructional videos, livestreams, and other multimedia projects.
The new studio is available not only to SUNY Westchester students, but may also be rented by community members, organizations, and businesses. The cost to rent the studio is $50 per hour.
“This studio represents an exciting new resource for Peekskill and the greater Westchester community,” said Sherry Mayo, Director of the SUNY Westchester Peekskill Center. “Whether someone is launching a podcast, producing a short film, creating educational content, or developing digital media skills, this space offers access to professional production tools in a welcoming, community-centered environment. We’re especially excited that our students will be able to use the studio to gain hands-on experience with the technologies shaping today’s creative industries.”
The studio also enhances learning opportunities for students enrolled in SUNY Westchester’s Communications and Media Arts degree program, providing access to a professional production facility convenient for residents in northern Westchester County. SUNY WCC offers state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that complement classroom instruction and prepare graduates for careers in media, broadcasting, filmmaking, content creation, and digital communications.
“The demand for high-quality digital content continues to grow across every industry,” said Dr. Belinda S. Miles, President of SUNY Westchester Community College. “By investing in spaces like this, we are ensuring that our students gain practical, career-ready experience while also providing a valuable creative resource for our surrounding communities. This studio reflects our commitment to expanding access to innovative learning opportunities and strengthening the region’s creative economy.”
