Industry + Technology
We understand how complex facilities operate.
FACILITIES THAT POWER RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
We design complex, highly technical environments that support research, advanced manufacturing, mission- critical operations, and innovation. Our experience includes aerospace and hypersonics, secure research and development, laboratories and life sciences, advanced and industrial manufacturing, and technology-driven infrastructure.
We help clients translate specialized processes, equipment requirements, security criteria, utility demands, and operational goals into facilities that are safe, efficient, adaptable, and buildable.
SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE
We design facilities supporting hypersonic research, high-speed propulsion, aerospace testing, and advanced manufacturing. Our experience includes reinforced research environments, high-pressure and high-temperature systems, specialized utilities, research infrastructure, and complex equipment interfaces.
Our work includes designing facilities for a Mach 8 quiet wind tunnel and a HYPULSE reflected shock/expansion tunnel, as well as test cells supporting high-speed jet propulsion testing. We work closely with owners, researchers, and technical teams to establish layouts that accommodate specialized equipment, utilities, control spaces, preparation areas, maintenance access, personnel safety, and day-to-day operations.
From new facilities to renovations within active research environments, we understand how to integrate the technical demands of research and testing with safety, security, constructability, and operational continuity.
