Northwestern University is recognized both nationally and internationally for its educational programs and pioneering research. In addition to academic buildings, dining halls, and student and faculty housing, the campuses are home to state-of-the-art research facilities, performing arts centers, and even an art museum — all of which require highly sophisticated and reliable facilities management.
Northwestern needs to ensure that all building control systems are continuously operational in order to maintain highly stable environments. Even the slightest variability in conditions like temperature, humidity, air flow, and air quality can skew scientific findings and render ongoing research work useless.
