The future success of the office will ultimately depend on a company’s ability to attract, retain, and engage employees.
With the increased focus on the employee experience, workers continue to challenge architects to deliver high-quality spaces that inspire collaboration and incorporate the comforts of home. As the MEP engineer, GHT can help architects deliver these high-quality designs without sacrificing systems performance, occupant comfort, or wellness. Join Senior Principal Don Norwood and Senior Associate Megan Lubina as they explore what’s next for MEP systems design in interior environments.
