To industry giant AECOM,一个是重要的数字。它不仅是该公司在ENR 2011年美国顶级设计公司名单上的排名,而且还属于新利luck该公司的新口头禅“ Ane Aecom”,这代表了其在单一身份下团结员工的努力。

Dominated by an amoeba-like art piece, Civic Space packs a wide array of functions and sustainable design principles into 2.5 acres in downtown Phoenix.

AECOM was, until recently, the antithesis of a unified company, with its cornucopia of corporate cultures stitched together from a series of acquisitions and mergers over the past 21 years. In fact, AECOM's largest units still retained their former names–DMJM, EDAW, Earth Tech–until 2009.

在2007年公开公开(纽约证券交易所:ACM)之后,AECOM被要求简化程序和政策,以确保准确的财务报告和对股东的预测。“我们将其视为机会,”地区资源经理乔伊·莱克(Joey Lake)说。“我们在AECOM,地区及其人民的实践中拥有丰富的知识,因此我们将其最有效的东西纳入了我们对'Ane Aecom'的愿景中。”

That meant retiring many of the old company names and merging the marketing, human resources, project management and project delivery systems. “The fundamental structure of the company is [now] designed to encourage collaboration and integration across business lines,” says Bill Vitek, mountain Southwest director for planning, design and development.

莱克补充说:“我不能说这是一条容易的道路。”“在我们开始这项努力之后不久,经济带来了鼻子。但是,我觉得一旦我们摆脱了这种经济,Aecom就准备好做伟大的事情,因为我们现在正在为此奠定所有基础,而这不是一个容易的时刻。”

The integration efforts are paying off in the Southwest. Revenue from projects in the region exceeded $89 million in 2010, moving the firm up two spots in the regional ranking of design firms and earning it recognition as ENR Southwest's Design Firm of the Year.

尽管收入飙升的一部分是由于2010年收购了蒂斯曼(Tishman)建设(一家具有强大拉斯维加斯的公司的公司),但基于西南地区的著名项目,AECOM已成为市场领导者。18luck官网

Despite its remoteness, Spaceport America—the first commercially built port of its type in the world—is one of AECOM's high profile projects. Located 30 miles from Truth or Consequences, N.M., the $200-million project is “out in the absolute middle of nowhere,” says Alan Jefts, program manager for the project out of AECOM's Houston office. “Everything has to be brought in, including all the utilities.”

AECOM served as programmers on the original site layout and definition of infrastructure, then designed 11 separate components including the site's water and wastewater treatment facilities, electrical systems, airfield, interior roads, fuel storage facility and systems integration package. AECOM also is responsible for commissioning of the terminal hangar facility and ensuring it gains LEED Gold certification upon completion in November.
