History

The former Rede Globo studios, opened in 1965, were too small for the station's productions. In 1975, the Teatro Fênix was inaugurated, for the production of auditorium programs. In 1980, it was found that the station's facilities would become improper in a short time. Projac (then called Jacarepaguá Project) was designed to house the studios, administration, production, direction; and leave the Botanical Garden. The greatness of Projac, between conception and inauguration, constitutes an undertaking that took almost fifteen years to be completed. In the long interval between the departure of Globo from its former studios and the definitive entry into Projac, the broadcaster rented other spaces, such as Atlântida Cinematográfica, Cyll Farney's Tycoon studios, part of Renato Aragão's studios, TV Tupi's studios at the old Cassino da Urca, Pólo Rio de Cinema e Vídeo and the Herbert Richers studios, besides producing some programs at the Teatro Fênix.

On August 8, 2019, the Production Module 4 (MG4) was inaugurated, incorporating three new studios (K, L, M), with a built area of 26,000 m². The complex now occupies a total area of 1.73 million m², with thirteen production studios, expanding the production capacity of soap operas, series, miniseries, realities, original formats, humor shows and varieties.^[3]
