Campos Designs for the Future of Connectivity

Providing technology system design for secure and resilient connectivity.

Technology Systems Design for Modern, Connected Buildings

Today’s smart buildings demand far more advanced infrastructure than their early predecessors. Campos’ Technology Systems practice specializes in designing and integrating the intelligent systems that keep facilities connected, secure, and operating efficiently. Our team delivers end‑to‑end technology solutions that support seamless communication, reliable data flow, and scalable network performance across every type of building environment.

Project Goals

Campos kicks off each project with a meeting that includes key stakeholders and end-users. This meeting aims to define project success, determine the frequency of design submittals, and decide if an assessment of existing conditions is required.

Analysis & Assessment

Before starting the design for the renovation or addition to an existing building, Campos will survey the existing technology systems to determine their age and condition. With this information, the Campos design team determines if the existing systems have adequate capacity or sufficient service life remaining and then determine the appropriate system for the new function of the space.

Schematic Design

A written narrative of the technology design intent is produced during the project's conceptual design and schematic design phase. This phase is critical to ensure the design criteria are in line with the owner's requirements.

Design Development

During the project’s design development phase, Campos will layout the basic design concepts of the project. The engineering team will select system types, determine technology equipment sizes, and establish space requirements for these systems.

Construction Documents

During the construction document phase, Campos will size all technology system components, ensure all equipment has proper clearances for maintenance and safety, and coordinate the systems’ routing with other consultants. Technical specifications will be part of this package.

Construction Administration

Campos has a dedicated construction administration team led by a team member with more than 20 years of tenure. The team's experience inspecting design and construction applications on various project types will provide you, the client, with highly proficient CA services.

Case In Point

A strong technology services design is essential because communication systems must remain secure, reliable, and adaptable under everything from routine outages to major disasters, which requires resilient infrastructure such as geographically redundant data centers and fiber trunks.

Example: An airport’s 30‑year‑old network and fiber infrastructure did not have the capacity to support the increasing demands created by modern user expectations, new network devices, 5G deployments, and ongoing terminal renovation and redevelopment projects. As a result, critical systems and independent entities such as Security, Fire Alarm, CBP/TSA, and tenant operations were forced to rely on private fiber connections to maintain basic functionality.

To mitigate risk, a comprehensive survey of all utility systems was conducted to recover missing information needed to support future construction. However, even as an internal IT database was being developed to organize this data, the absence of an IT Masterplan meant that the next 30 years were at risk of repeating the limitations of the past 30 years.

Stakeholders identified an unused but well‑positioned space that, despite being on the opposite side of campus and near full communication ducts, was still close enough to service‑provider facilities to make it a strong candidate for a secondary MDF. Building a new data center there would relieve congestion in the existing MDF, remove the single point of failure, and support long‑term growth for the next 30 years.

Along with two data centers, the solution would include backup pathways and fiber trunks in every terminal, all linked together in a resilient ring. This design would allow the airport to shift toward managing its own infrastructure in the future and reduce dependence on outside service providers.
