Diagnosis: Technostress

Company News, January 30, 2019

Do you have technostress? You might not even know what that is but you probably have it! Technostress is when technology becomes more foe than friend. We heard from those with technostress that all they wanted is for their audio/video system to work and not worry about it.

There’s a place in the TCO Performance Center for high level meetings and even entertaining new partners. The boardroom at the TCO offers a space for upper level management meetings, entertaining, teleconferencing and presentations. It was a bit tricky though. Originally the room was designed with an in-room cabinet. But during construction it was left out of the rough in. EDC rose to the occasion to offer a unique solution to this problem.

Company News, Projects, January 10, 2019

We’re in the darkest coldest months right now. I’ve often found myself on the cold dark streets cursing the winter. Is there any relief? Well there is downtown on the recently renovated Nicollet. Electronic Design Company just completed a project that allows the Nicollet Armature between 6th and 9th street to have synchronized lighting with a music experience.
