The addition of digital experience design will allow the firm to provide in-house expertise in low-voltage technology design, including audiovisual, information technology, telecommunications, and electronic security systems.
Clark & Enersen has added Digital Experience Design to its wide array of services, which already included a majority of the design disciplines required for most projects and several specialized service offerings.
The firm’s holistic, full-service approach to design involves analyzing every facet of a project, focusing on how various site and facility features, technologies, and systems integrate with and complement one another. The philosophy behind digital experience design fits in seamlessly with this approach by encouraging clients to explore the potential for creating facilities, spaces, and systems that deliver innovative, reliable, and memorable experiences across diverse project types. This service lives at the intersection between planning, architecture, interior design, and engineering to offer clients improved connection, collaboration, and communication.
“We are always looking for opportunities to expand our service offerings to meet the needs of our clients. We are thrilled to add digital experience design to that growing list of services,” said Shawn Diederich, PE, LEED AP, WELL AP, chairman of the board and senior principal at Clark & Enersen. “With this addition, our firm will now offer highly-specialized, in-house services related to audiovisual systems and other related technologies, which will further bolster our expertise.”

“I’m thrilled to join such a great group of professionals whose integrated practice of planning, architecture, and engineering now includes digital experience design,” said Park. “Technology has become the anticipated 4th utility for our clients. They expect connection, collaboration, and communication to be responsive, reliable, and secure for all stakeholders. Hybrid workplaces, learning spaces, and healthcare facilities rely on technology to connect users seamlessly, whether onsite or remote. Incorporating the digital experience into our design process will further enhance our ability to create sustainable and intelligent buildings.”
