Building Technology
Smarter buildings, today
Building technology is the invisible thread that connects each of us to the world around us. It brings efficiency to our infrastructure, buildings, and processes and increasingly shapes the way we experience the world. Though you may not see it, every space you step into employs building technology through security, life safety, voice, data and video processing, and transmission. Building technology drives workflow, operations, user satisfaction, cost controls, facility planning, and agency compliance.
Our depth of expertise has allowed us to go anywhere to meet our clients’ needs in creative and personalized ways. We bring specialized building technology systems knowledge and operational experience, combined with unparalleled engineering services.
Let’s work together to advance your building’s safety and efficiency through smart building technology solutions.

We worked to correctly place lighting for specific tasks, and we balanced acoustics to dampen unwanted noise. Read MoreOregon State University Learning Innovation Center (LInC)
When universities have big classrooms, there’s a risk that instructors and students can feel disconnected and cut off from the content they are trying to teach or learn. Arena-style classrooms are created with engaging audiovisual systems that work seamlessly. On this project, lighting and acoustics needed extra consideration as well, so light didn’t interfere with the screens and sound was clear and didn’t transfer to unwanted areas. Behind the scenes, the building technology and electrical systems keep everything running smoothly. Read More
