EDITOR’S LET TER Kevin Peterson, President/CEO Dear Reader, As a design firm, it’s important that we have full mastery of current trends and technologies on the market. Equally important is that we also know what trends and emerging technologies are coming down the road. We believe that firms have a responsibility to inform clients about upcoming trends, so they can consider them on their projects. The P2S Technology Team brings this forward-thinking attitude not only to dedicated technology projects, but also to projects where technology design is integrated within another design market. Increasingly sophisticated IT, AV, and security systems are appearing at healthcare facilities and schools, creating a bigger overlap between technology design and healthcare and education design. This issue features interviews between our leading IT/security designers and engineers active in healthcare and K-12 design. We spoke to them to learn about the how their respective disciplines will intersect in 2018 and beyond, technologies currently being used in the healthcare and education markets and emerging technologies that might soon appear at a facility near you. As you may be aware by now, we’ve re-branded, re-structured, and launched a new website. Our new brand honors our history and looks toward the future, imagining ways that we can use our skills to design a more sustainable built environment and a better future for people. We also clarified our company structure creating distinct brand divisions to increase visibility and awareness of all the services we offer. If you haven’t already, visit WEareP2S.com to learn more.
