‘Orange Room’ gets a triangular update

Elements of the update actually first appeared election week, when NBC turned Studio 1A into its ‘Election Center‘ that was used across NBC broadcasts. The space’s faux white brick walls were removed in favor of a triangular white pattern. During election coverage, the walls were also decorated with temporary election imagery, such as the ‘Vote’ poster in this shot. The space also included a red, white and blue geometric floor covering. 

The venue also shows up behind Al Roker’s weather reports, such as this one from after the election. It is also used as an alternative standup-style venue and the occasional segments that focus on social media or interactivity. The new version of the orange features a neon sign version of the logo, a sofa and work counter. 

The space also boasts light wood beams along with ‘cubbyholes’ for decorative items. The matching wood and frosted sliding wall that was installed before the election remains in place, allowing the show to close off the space. Since it first appeared on ‘Today’ after the election coverage, the geometric floor covering has been removed.
