In December 2024, Wide Angle Youth Media (WAYM) unveiled its new 9,100-square-foot Studios at the Service Center, located at 2507 N. Howard Street,  Baltimore, MD. This state-of-the-art community center, learning lab, and production space serves as a hub for media arts education, empowering Baltimore youth with creative and technical skills. The facility features a welcoming lobby and gallery, a versatile 2,000-square-foot venue for production and events, four post-production suites with industry-standard software, dedicated spaces fostering creativity, learning, and collaboration, and cutting-edge resources designed to support digital storytelling and career development. 

Cap Ex Advisory Group served as the Owner’s Representative for Wide Angle Youth Media, leading early feasibility efforts including market research, pro forma development, and preliminary budgeting. Cap Ex also directed a programming phase to define the space needs and developed a fit analysis and concept layout that informed the architect’s design. Throughout the project, Cap Ex managed planning, budgeting, scheduling, and team procurement, coordinating closely with the building’s developer. By overseeing design coordination, construction, and closeout, Cap Ex delivered a dynamic, functional space that advances WAYM’s mission to empower Baltimore youth through media education and creative expression.
