Omni's architecture lead, Shane Maples, served as the Design-Build team's Architect of Record. Shane developed the award-winning design and coordinated site and building layout with Cal Fire, Sheriff project managers, and City staff.
He optimized the complex electrical design for the raised floor system, future-proofing the building for emerging technologies. To mitigate supply chain risks, Shane coordinated program requirements with specialty electrical consultants, enabling early equipment procurement and accelerating permit approvals. This strategic approach secured timely permits for backup electrical systems and allowed sitework to begin earlier, maintaining the project's overall schedule.
