We have designed a wide variety of highly efficient and flexible electrical engineering systems. We also are known for completing some of the most accurate, thorough, and well-thought-out electrical systems in the region. Our expertise encompasses power distribution, telecommunications, fire alarm, signalization, security, and lightning protection systems, as well as lighting system design. Our experience includes numerous LEED certified and LEED equivalent projects. As part of a full-service firm, our electrical engineers work closely with architects, engineers and other design staff to seamlessly integrate systems and architecture and provide optimum flexibility for future changes in technology and energy needs.
Our structural engineers understand how to make creative and efficient use of funds, structural elements, geometries, and materials to achieve the goals of the client and design team. Our expertise includes specialized project types such as science and research, manufacturing, athletic and arena, parks and recreation, and library facilities with unique structural needs. In addition to new buildings and challenging renovation projects, our structural engineers can conduct in-depth investigations and studies, and contribute to long-term facilities master plans.
Interior design brings together light, color, form, air quality, technology and sustainability to create spaces that are dynamic, engaging, healthy, and user-friendly. Our interior designers are knowledgeable in space planning, furniture and finish selection, integration of technology, safety and security, and signage and way-finding for a wide variety of building types.
Our expertise in mechanical engineering includes some of the most sustainable and innovative design solutions in the region. We understand how to optimize operational efficiency, functionality, sustainability, and flexibility. We are skilled at HVAC upgrades for buildings that must remain open during construction. In addition, we have completed new LEED Certified buildings and projects that achieve significant energy savings beyond ASHRAE standards. We understand all aspects of plumbing, piping, fire protection, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning design, including geothermal, energy recovery, and ice storage cooling systems.
Working closely with clients, we ask the right questions to bring a clear vision into focus, generate consensus, and a develop plans for a wide range of public, private and collegiate projects. We create a roadmap for solutions that respond to the unique conditions of a site, campus, or city, to serve the needs of the communities they serve. Our master planning team is enhanced by the full-service nature of our firm. We can draw on our firm's skills in architecture, landscape architecture and engineering to offer a holistic approach to planning the built and natural environment.
We work closely with our clients to bring their vision for a facility into clear focus, as we develop options for how a building works and how it functions. We know how to ask the right questions to determine what image you wish to project, and how you wish to work and live within the space. Using building information modeling, we can develop three-dimensional images in real time, as we work together, to show the immediate impact of each design decision. We offer a full range of architectural design services, including building conditions investigation, code analysis, space programming, long-term phased master planning, renovation, expansion, and new facility design.
In 2014, we added civil engineering to our practice as a way to enhance our firm's ability to provide a full-service, holistic approach to design. We have found that close teamwork between our civil engineering and site design staff leads to greater efficiencies and more creative, successful design solutions. This helps us better serve our clients for landscape architecture and architecturally-driven projects, as well as for new commercial, corporate, and residential developments.
We are a full-service firm, offering architecture, interior design, master planning, landscape architecture, and civil, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering. We also offer construction administration. Our holistic approach enhances our ability to communicate with our clients and explore solutions. We also believe it leads to a better integration of site, systems, and structure, and results in precise documents and a smooth project delivery. Our clients quickly learn we're open, honest, and true to what we say we'll do.
