Resilient Government Facilities
We work with governments at the local, state, and federal levels across the United States to deliver efficient, resilient, and sustainable facilities.
From the Oregon State Treasury Building, capable of operating through a major earthquake, to the new net zero energy state office buildings in Sacramento, California, our team is playing a pivotal role in preparing the government to be resilient to the challenges of climate change.
Additionally, our growing portfolio of transportation infrastructure projects includes large-scale tunnel commissioning and the design and commissioning of new airport facilities.
The challenge of mitigating climate change rests on the shoulders of designers in the built environment."
