Who we are: As consulting engineers/designers we are an integral part of the design team helping your Center tell your story through the effective use of technology, acoustics and lighting. Our history of providing quality, innovative designs to our clients has allowed us to be part of numerous, award-winning centers. TA team members are both sensologists and technologists: Acoustic and lighting designs affect the senses and how someone feels within a space; Audiovisual, structured cabling, and security designs are technology-oriented and require attention to detail as well as current knowledge of the industry and where it is headed.
 
Our team is approachable and accessible, including our principals who are highly involved with all projects. We think holistically about our projects recommending cost effective, functional, and durable solutions. Founded in 1992 by principals who have consulted on and managed more than 2900 projects, we understand that our client’s satisfaction is key to our success.
