French term or phrase: (bureau du) syndic de presse
This is in a specification for contractors bidding to construct a stadium.

Les espaces comprennent : l’accueil contrôlé par le *bureau du syndic de presse*, la salle de presse, le studio d’interviews, la zone mixte (médias/sportîfs) et les tribunes de presse.

I am thinking of putting "press office" which is used often in relation to stadium descriptions in English, whereas there are not many hits for "bureau du syndic de presse" but I assume both offices represent the stadium before the press??

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: In the context of a press syndicate, "bureau" is being used in the sense of a committee, a collective, controling body as indicated in your original by the use of "contrôlé par le bureau etc". The "bureau" oversees the "accueil".

press syndicate committee


Explanation:
As the original does not just say "presse" but "syndic de presse", then it seems important to relay that in the English translation.

See "press syndicate": http://global.britannica.com/topic/newspaper-syndicate

Newspaper syndicate
Journalism
Written by: The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica
Alternative titles: feature syndicate; press syndicate
Newspaper syndicate, also called Press Syndicate, or Feature Syndicate, agency that sells to newspapers and other media special writing and artwork, often written by a noted journalist or eminent authority or drawn by a well-known cartoonist, that cannot be classified as spot coverage of the news.

And you will apreciate the distinction being made.

Note that "bureau" here is not being meant in the sense of a place, but of a committee, a body of individuals acting in a particular capacity.

In your original, the idea of the bureau being a controlling body is quite clear.
