Property Investments
NBCUniversal continues to make key and targeted improvements to better align our business resources, upgrade our facilities and create room for Studio and theme park improvements and growth.
We are always looking forward. Some recent examples include:
New Sheriff's Substation
Opened in 2024, the new Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Substation, located at the southern portion of the property, features a Security Operations Center, incident command center, and upgraded security amenities.
New Gate Entrances to the Universal Studios Lot
Universal Studios has completed upgrades to the Lankershim Blvd. entrances, enhancing the arrival experience and wayfinding. Gates 1 through 5 are now numbered sequentially from north to south
New Studio Drop-off and Pick-up
A dedicated drop-off and pick-up entrance on Lankershim Blvd. at the new Gate 3 is now complete, offering a streamlined arrival and departure experience for employees and guests using ridesharing services.
Hitchcock Theatrical Mixing Stage
NBCUniversal StudioPost has opened a new theatrical mixing stage on the Universal Studios Lot. Sound Stage 6 was transformed over the past year into the new advanced Hitchcock Mixing Stage.
The Campus Project
This visionary project, which broke ground in 2020, and was completed in 2024 has transformed the Universal Studios Lower Lot into a true campus, honoring the studio’s long legacy of entertainment, innovation, and excellence.

Childcare Center

Expanded to house a new tiller quint and additional personnel.
Connector
