Downey Studios
The Downey Studios was a production studio in Downey, California.[1] The studio featured 320,000 square metres (79 acres) of indoor and outdoor production space including a 4,600-square-metre (50,000 sq ft) building and a 23,000 square metres (250,000 sq ft) building which was home of the largest indoor water tank in North America. A suburban residential street backlot with 5 complete homes and 11 facades was also available at the studio.
The studios were created out of the former Rockwell International plant where the Space Shuttle orbiters as well as some vehicles for the Apollo space program were assembled. The studios occupied only a portion of the former plant with the Downey Landing shopping complex, a Kaiser Permanente hospital, a park, and Columbia Memorial Space Center museum taking up the remainder of the space.
In October 2012, Downey Studios was being demolished to make way for the new "Downey Promenade" shopping center.[2]
