Company Representative June 22, 2011 Product & Service Announcements

Winter Park, Florida (June 22, 2011) – Architects Design Group (ADG), with Myrtle Beach associate architect Pike‐McFarland‐Hall Architects, was recently selected as the architect for the detailed spatial needs assessment of the Horry County Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

ADG’s responsibilities will include programming and determination of the facility site area requirements for a new EOC that will consolidate the County’s Emergency Operations and Emergency Management departments into a single facility. The facility will include a Regional Information Sharing System Center, Information Technology/GIS, Emergency 911 Telecommunications and a future 311 Information Call Center. There has also been discussion of consolidating dispatch with nearby counties.

Currently the two departments are housed in different buildings that are outdated and do not meet the current and future requirements for the County.

The services to be performed include a Spatial Needs Assessment and Programming with an analysis of the current facility as well as a study for a new facility which will evaluate future population, department staffing and size, feasibility and site selection. Tasks will also include Preliminary Design and Preliminary Budget Cost Estimate.
