Challenge
A major urban development project in Chicago required comprehensive security planning for a new 22-story mixed-use building. The project included commercial office space, retail, parking, and residential components, creating a complex security environment that needed to address access control, surveillance, and overall building safety.
The developer sought a security partner capable of providing expert consulting and design services to ensure the new building met industry standards and could accommodate future operational needs. Security systems needed to be integrated seamlessly into the design and construction process.
Solution
A security consulting and design team was engaged to develop a comprehensive strategy for the building. The team designed systems for credentialing, access control, video surveillance, event management, and command center operations, ensuring all solutions aligned with project requirements and building design.
The engagement continues through construction administration, providing oversight and support to implement the security systems effectively and ensure operational readiness upon project completion.
