Buildings of the Future
Technology infrastructure is not one size fits all. 100 days ago, in the unprecedented time of COVID-19, the fundamental technology requirements for buildings of the future were altered. Future-proof technology infrastructure requires an insight-driven approach designed, mapped and aligned with state-of-the-art architectural design. The network environment is becoming more complex, as bandwidths and user needs increase, so must the capacity of the framework to support it.
We’ve built a reputation for designing intelligent IT solutions for commercial real estate, government, healthcare, education and research, transportation, hospitality and cultural markets - designed for the future, today.
What We've Been Up To
Our Clients
Proudly connecting communities through mission-critical infrastructure for more than two decades:
“The telecom infrastructure that Level-1 designed for the O’Hare Modernization and Expansion Project allowed us to make best use of the airport’s existing infrastructure while also enabling us to implement new technologies later. Their expert knowledge of how to incorporate technology infrastructure into the construction phase for Aviation Building #4 was particularly valuable to me and my staff. I would gladly work with Thomas and his team again.”
Grafe R. Smith

“Level-1 was a vital part of the success of the 2012 NATO Summit in showcasing the best of what Chicago has to offer. Their onsite technical support services, including laptop configuration and set up of network connectivity, helped make the vision of the summit a reality. Their partnership and ongoing contributions to the greater Chicago community are truly appreciated.”

“During a successful eight-year partnership with the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Level-1 provided high-quality support and assistance with our data center consolidation project and the design of the Daley Center CL25 data center server farm. They maintained an upmost level of professionalism while navigating us through many issues with technical infrastructure space planning. I look forward to working with them again.”

“Being the second largest court system in the nation, we wanted to ensure that the technical infrastructure for our office was a complete and accurate portrayal of Cook County’s existing architecture. The detailed network design that Level-1 provided was critical to our preliminary planning efforts and structured approach to creating a solid and robust foundation for successful implementation. The imaging and document management system they delivered exceeded our expectations and was of the highest quality. I was also impressed with Level-1’s professionalism and integrity and look forward to working with them again.”
