Headquarters
The Houston Chronicle building in Downtown Houston is the headquarters of the Houston Chronicle. The facility includes a loading dock, office space, a press room, and production areas. It has ten stories above ground and three stories below ground. The printing presses used by the newspaper span three stories. The presses are two stories below ground and one above. In the Downtown facility, the presses there were decommissioned in the late 2000s. The newsroom within the facility has bull-pen style offices with a few private cubicles and offices on the edges. The facility is connected to the downtown Houston tunnel system.
The facility, almost 100 years old as of 2010, was originally four separate structures that were joined together to make one building. They were joined together in a major renovation and modernization project completed in the early 1970s.
