Government & Mission Critical

Arium AE is a trusted partner in government and mission-critical design, with extensive experience providing integrated design services for secure spaces and specialized infrastructure. We have a proven track record of delivering design solutions for SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities), data centers, secure workspaces, laboratories, and both new construction and renovation projects across the military, federal, and intelligence sectors. Our team understands the unique challenges of high-security environments and takes a flexible, multidisciplinary design approach that spans compliance and access control, as well as infrastructure resilience. With decades of experience serving long-term returning government and defense clients, we are committed to designing spaces that support critical missions, protect national security, and stand the test of time. The firm has completed over 60 SCIFs for mission-critical clients and agencies over the last four years, in accordance with the most current Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 standards and requirements, a directive published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). ICD 705 plays an essential role in safeguarding national security by setting guidelines for SCIFs, spaces that house classified operations, materials, and personnel. With cyber threats and espionage risks continually increasing, ICD 705 provides a foundation for risk reduction through secure facility design. The directive not only impacts federal contractors, defense agencies, and intelligence personnel but also extends to any organization involved in creating or maintaining classified spaces, as it aims to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, physical threats, and technical vulnerabilities.
