Powering the future of flight at Boeing's award-winning Renton headquarters
Boeing Commercial Airline Group Headquarters

Security
Advanced power distribution and control systems support global aerospace operations at Boeing's award-winning Renton headquarters.
When Boeing planned their new Commercial Airline Group headquarters in Renton, they needed an electrical infrastructure to support their global operations. Our design-build approach to the 300,000-square-foot, five-story building focused on advanced systems to match Boeing's aerospace innovation. We implemented site primary power distribution and substations for reliable power, and designed lighting controls that optimize energy efficiency and workspaces. Security and safety systems, including fire alarms, were integrated to protect the facility while remaining unobtrusive. The success of the project, recognized with the 1999 Office Development of the Year award, highlights our ability to balance complex technical requirements with practical workplace needs.
