Healthcare
Healthcare facilities face a growing challenge. While a physical building can operate for over 50 years, technology and software may require annual or monthly updates. On top of this, large hospital project schedules can last up to 10 years. Ensuring technology systems will operate functionally over time requires a strategic plan and an informative design approach.
Our healthcare subject matter experts take a holistic approach to designing and managing technology systems, starting with strategic consulting. We collaborate with leading organizations to assess current operations and develop a vision and master plan. We then incorporate these insights and trends to establish a data-driven technology roadmap that lays out the foundation for future projects.
We design, engineer, and manage flexible technology solutions that adapt to the technology of the future. Our goal is to avoid unnecessary retrofits down the road. We take a “last responsible moment” approach for equipment and system selection to ensure owners purchase long-lasting technology. We focus on integration of existing systems and legacy systems to ensure a seamless experience for patients, visitors, and staff.
Our objective is to build a hospital for the future. One with the foundational flexibility to evolve and continue to provide cutting-edge treatment for their patients over 50+ years.

Mission Critical
The mission critical market is fast-paced and highly complex. As facilities face unprecedented infrastructure demands, multi-functional and secure systems rely on resource-efficient and agile technology design expertise.
From hyperscale, colocation, and edge data centers to industrial and manufacturing facilities, we establish efficiencies across projects by maintaining a programmatic approach. We develop consistency across multi-facility expansion portfolios with thorough technology standards and documentation.
Our mission critical subject matter experts incorporate capacity forecasting, lifecycle expenses, and operational profitability as we drive designs forward. Our dedicated international teams adapt to regional codes and localize designs to meet site-specific requirements.
Whether partnered directly with an organization or teamed with an architectural or engineering firm, our services are guided by the owner’s goals and aspirations.

Science & Tech
The science and technology industry makes discoveries that radically advance research and development in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences. Mobile and reconfigurable working environments with access to significant computational resources help shape many of the spaces in science discovery, research, and learning.
Implementing technology across research, laboratory, clean rooms, and intermediate spaces requires a robust technology infrastructure able to support change over time and adapt as research techniques evolve. Our approach to technology design addresses the challenges of creating modern systems that meet near-term needs while maintaining the flexibility required to support future research advancements.

Autonomous Vehicles
The autonomous vehicle (AV) industry plays a major role in reducing the long-term environmental impact of motor vehicles. In order to keep up with the ever-growing market, industry leaders need to work with consultants that can help them achieve speed-to-market goals while saving on capital investment and making sustainable project choices.
When brought on in the early stages of project development, our team supports AV clients by creating customized and adaptable ICT infrastructure, network, wireless, and security solutions that address immediate concerns. We conserve budgets while ensuring that projects are more sustainable and generate less waste, recovering the cost of materials when possible. This includes providing strategic planning and roadmap building, industrial-based solutions for varying climates, circular practices for reusability, flexible architecture that is designed to scale, mobile designs for wireless and wired connectivity, and versatile plug-and-play models. We help our clients look at the big picture and plan for future growth, reusability, and most importantly, flexibility.

Higher Education
From in-person learning to the virtual classroom, engaging technology advances collaboration, performance, and discovery. The need for network capacity to keep data flowing within physical and virtual spaces without interruption depends on reliable technology systems.
We design technology infrastructure that enables institutions to push the bounds of performance. Our systems range from minimally complex to highly complex, all of which are part of a converged, integrated network. Utilizing a single, converged network allows institutions to leverage one common platform for all systems within a facility or campus.
