PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 2013, the Oklahoma State Department of Wildlife Conservation experienced significant flooding damage to its headquarters. The damage and the facility’s increasing demands for square feet prompted the state to conduct a $16 million renovation and addition. The original building, stripped of all interior components, required a retrofit of new mechanical, electrical, IT, and security systems. The latest addition, designed similarly to the Frank Lloyd Wright style of the original headquarters, houses employee offices, an auditorium, and access to natural light via balconies and interior windows.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• The audiovisual design included a multipurpose room audiovisual system intended for board meetings, which included sound reinforcement, video presentation, and control systems.
• An additional conference was designed that included video, sound, and control systems, as well as video conferencing abilities.
• Designed modifications to camera locations, access control, and intrusion detection system devices within the building.
• The structured cabling design included digital signage, a coaxial cable system, and structured cabling systems that included horizontal cabling, CATV, wireless access points, and IP-based video surveillance cameras from the new telecommunications rooms provided in the project.
