Earlier this month, Ryan Seacrest went back to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to celebrate the grand re-opening of the very first Seacrest Studios – and everyone was understandably very emotional about the “full circle moment.”
The 49-year-old American Idol host opened the first of the Seacrest Studios in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia back in November 2010, as a way to give the patients a chance to explore the world of media. He has since opened up a total of 14 locations around the country through his philanthropic Ryan Seacrest Foundation, and recently went back to the first Atlanta location to give it a makeover and update it with the latest technology.
