Print editions of industry periodicals like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter are available for additional research.
Commercial Kitchen – this large kitchen features commercial refrigerators, ovens and support equipment and will be available to members for craft service classes and private member events.

Member Fitness Center – this member-only gym features commercial workout equipment and a high-quality shower facility. The office plans to make the fitness center available on 24/7 basis later this year.

Administrative Offices – the new building is better suited to house 479’s growing staff, which now includes a director of education, benefits coordinator, two member services employees, an IT director, three field representatives, office manager, bookkeeper, receptionist, as well as the elected staff positions.
More Parking – Local 479’s new, larger facility provides parking for more than 200 vehicles; enough to accommodate the typical number of people who attend general membership meetings.
