Control Room Design

In this video, Ian Nimmo of UCDS discusses the importance and complexity of control room design. It’s much more than simply hiring an architect to design a control room. Nimmo describes just some of the considerations that need to be made when designing a control room. Beyond architecture, there’s the layout, communication between users, flow of traffic, lighting, heating, and acoustics. It’s a work process that needs to be able to help primary and secondary users, and adapt to abnormal or emergency situations. UCDS carefully guides their customers through an entire control room design process.
