Plan the Ideal Control Rooms for Your Specific Applications

Every control room environment is unique, with its own physical, operational, and technological constraints within the existing space that must be adhered to. Evans control room design consultants' goal is to integrate these unique requirements and the ideal operating environment. Our experienced command room consulting team, consisting of engineers, construction managers, designers, and architects, will join you to review your facility and assess these key factors, allowing you to make an educated plan for your future operations. 

We interview key stakeholders involved in control room operations, such as technology integrators, IT professionals, operators, and architects. From there, we design an effective new control room solution to limit operational risks and develop strategies to maximize control room safety and efficiency. We are your experts in mission-critical environments.
