The world's media will come to Vancouver in 2010 and just like in Beijing there isn't room for every media person in the Ling Long Pagoda. (Peter Mansbridge, of the CBC, has been reporting in Beijing from an exterior stairwell of the Pagoda.) The Vancouver 2010 Media Centre will be an amazing place, but will not house everyone, thus the Province has added another media venue for more of the non-accredited (by the IOC) international media persons that will be in town at Robson Square.
The 2600 meter state-of-the-art facility is designed to be a one-stop-shop of resources for the world’s media community. The 2010 International Media Centre (IMC) will co-ordinate technology, information, transportation and hospitality, as well as access to officials and athletes for members of the press corps. Additionally, the 2010 IMC will also be a broadcast hub for a number of key domestic and international broadcast organizations.
The Robson Square location will be adjacent to the Commerce Centre and a showcase space in the heart of downtown Vancouver, a central location in between the official Media Centre and BC Place Stadium, GM Place, and the Athletes Village.Source: Government of British Columbia
