Over the last few years, our firm has been awarded several National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) mapping projects. Established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the NWI program provides information to the public on the status and trends of our nation's wetlands. NWI data is available to the public and provides valuable information for biologists, conservation efforts, habitat assessments, land management, and much more. While the mapping is conducted remotely, each project requires a field trip where analysts working on the project travel to the area of interest (AOI) to answer questions that may arise while mapping and to confirm classification protocols used across the project. Our analysts have visited Alaska, Pennsylvania, California, and Wyoming among other locations across the U.S.

We designed 245,000 square feet of lease space for Houston Methodist Hospital in a new 1.3 million-square-foot distribution center. The hospital consolidated its logistics operations from multiple sites to a single, cross-dock lease space that includes high-piled storage, secured IT storage, biomedical department repair shop, truck fleet shop, employee fitness center, off-site training rooms, and office space. The design team considered ways to reduce permanent impact to the base building, which included incorporating modified Conex shipping containers for warehouse floor offices and conference rooms so that they can be relocated to a new lease space when needed. Another non-permanent design feature was incorporating ceiling-mounted projectors that display drive aisle, directional, and wayfinding information on the floor in lieu of traditional painted pathway clearance and directional markers or stickers. Separate paths of travel for forklifts and pedestrians, flashing stop signs, and warning signs were projected at traffic and pedestrian intersection points.
