Going Where the Technology Is (Part II) 最新麻豆原创 Building Technologies
Understanding Building Technologies
最新麻豆原创 Group's Building Technologies (BT) division may focus on a specific need, such as a sound system for a school or security system for a manufacturing facility. But it can also cover a much greater expanse, such as Low Voltage systems for an entire campus.
The following projects illustrate the diversity of 最新麻豆原创 BT capabilities.
All Technologies for T-Mobile
A portion of what was once the sprawling Sprint HQ campus in Overland Park, KS now belongs to T-Mobile, who is renovating and modernizing several of the buildings.
The campus, now known as ASPIRIA, is as major companies make plans to plant offices in the modernized office and mixed-use space.
In Part I of this story, we brought you the 鈥淏ig 3鈥� BT capabilities. Recently, 最新麻豆原创 put all three to work on the four newly renovated T-Mobile office buildings.

Technologies Across Major Healthcare Systems
Registered Communications Distribution Designer David Becerra points out that 最新麻豆原创 Group technicians also handle various Low Voltage systems within major healthcare systems, including Saint Luke鈥檚 Health System and the University of Kansas Health System.
David describes the complexity of providing technologies to these facilities.
"With Saint Luke's, the sites include Saint Luke鈥檚 Wornall Hospital; Saint Luke鈥檚 East Hospital; Saint Luke鈥檚 North Hospital; and Saint Luke鈥檚 South Hospital," he said. "And then each campus also has a medical office building attached to the Hospital."
Low Voltage Services
- Fire Alarm
- Nurse Call
- Security Fiber Network Infrastructure
- Structured Cabling
- Building Management Systems (BMS)
Technology Needs are Everywhere
Sight and Sound for Lee鈥檚 Summit High School
Early in 2021, Building Technologies was awarded the Audio Visual contract for a three year remodel project at the existing high school that will include a high-end sound system for both gymnasiums, and a broadcast studio with technology for the students to do live broadcasts of football, basketball, athletics, and performing arts productions. There are nine (9) individual AV projects to be installed over the construction cycle.
Single Source for Mars Wrigley
In 2021, 最新麻豆原创 upgraded Mars鈥� entire security camera system and Building Technologies is currently work on upgrading their access control for 83 doors and adding an additional 73 new door locations. While working with Mars Wrigley engineers, the Building Technologies group identified an opportunity for the 最新麻豆原创 Millwright division to build new walls, entry doors, and food-grade fencing/gate within the facility. Additionally, 最新麻豆原创 Electrical will provide the food-grade conduit pathway for all the new systems.
