We have an extensive portfolio of computer facilities and “smart” buildings that support data processing and software development. In addition to buildings that were programmed and designed as new construction, several of these projects involved major renovations or the adaptive re-use of existing buildings.

We were innovators in the use of fuel cells as the base source of power for a data center at the First National Technology Center in Omaha—fuel cells that have been providing power at the center without interruption since the day they were energized.

Today, our clients host, design, develop, or manufacture networking products that provide connectivity solutions for multiuse computing environments, local area networks and wide area networks. Our experience includes provision of microwave and satellite communications for video, data and voice transmissions to support regional and international data operations.

“FACILITIES COSTS HAVE GROWN FROM THE

HISTORIC 1% TO 3% OF IT’S TOTAL BUDGET

TO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5% AND 15%.”
