NTI served on the design team as technology consultant for Milton City Hall project. The new city hall is a two-story building that’s 32,000 square feet and includes a community center building. The exterior architecture integrates historic Milton elements and the interior architecture designed to foster collaboration. Design of the public areas allow the community to interact with various city departments and maintains an open environment with lots of natural light. Energy efficiency and many sustainable design practices were incorporated.
NTI Scope of Services
Data/Voice & Special Systems Cabling Design
We designed Data/Voice cabling infrastructure systems including horizontal and vertical cabling, cabling pathways, cable management and IDF, MDF and Equipment Room closet layouts and all outlet details. The cabling system will support voice and data (POS, PMS, Admin LAN, wireless and hardwired Internet access) services. We showed conduit and back box requirements for coordination and ultimately incorporate into the MEP documents.
MATV/CATV Cabling System Design
We coordinated with the television service vendor and Architect to identify all cabling,
junction boxes, TV locations, splitters, taps and amplifiers as necessary to provide a complete
distribution system to support the MATV/CATV system. We also provided layout details for
the new head end room and a performance specification for the MATV distribution system.
Using the performance specification, the cabling vendor will have the necessary information to
design, install and test/certify the new MATV infrastructure (including all amplifiers, taps and
terminations) in accordance with the equipment vendor requirements.
Security Systems Design
We design and incorporate client’s recommendations, designs and/or concepts for security
systems devices for the facility to include closed circuit security cameras, security monitors,
duress alarms, door contact alarms, alarm control panel, keypads and motion detectors. We
incorporated owner and/or operator device locations in our drawing set as part of the
Construction Documents only after a thorough review and final sign-off of those locations has
been completed and approved in writing by the owner and operator.
Audio Visual & Control Systems
Audio/Video council chamber technology, meeting room technology, distributed Audio/Video
systems, display systems, and sound recording, reinforcement and masking systems as
required in Council Chamber, Meeting Rooms, and appropriate Public Area. Control systems for
evidentiary submittals presentation, distribution, and storage will also be a part of the design
scope, as will AV support systems for all spaces through-out the Administration areas.

Paulding County Jail & Sheriff’s Office
The new Paulding County Jail & Sheriff’s Office headquarters in Dallas, GA broke ground in 2018 and it’s completion is anticipated in late 2020. The new jail will double the total number of inmate beds than the current jail provides. The new development will also include a new administrative space for the sheriff’s office and the county government’s first dedicated morgue. NTI is proud to have served as the technology consultant for the new jail and sheriff’s office headquarters.
The new 660 bed, 133,000 square foot jail is built on a 25-acre site and replaces a 25-year-old 200-bed facility. The 58,000 square foot sheriff’s office headquarters is adjacent to the jail. The new Sheriff’s Office consolidates all divisions under one roof, making it easier for citizens. It will also help the Sheriff’s Office run more efficiently because everyone will operate out of the same building. And it will also cut down on the risk of transporting inmates to court, because of the enclosed walkway from the new jail to the courthouse.

Fulton County Board of Commissioners Assembly Hall Renovation
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners launched a significant renovation to the Assembly Hall Auditorium in May of 2020. The $3.5 million project is the first major renovation since the doors first opened over 20 years ago.
The 300+ seat auditorium & Dais renovation will include upgrading the Audio Visual (AV) design and systems. NTI was selected as the AV designer for the new and improved renovated auditorium which will include:
- An upgrade from an SD analog projection system to a full HD/4k capabilities with Large format video walls.
- A 220” Direct-view LED Main display
- Two (2) 110” displays flanking the Main display for optimal viewing coverage.
- Full Crestron NVX networked video solution.
- Shure Digital Discussion system for all Dais seats.
- Connections to Fulton County Government TV broadcast suite to provide camera, content, and audio feed for broadcast over public access TV channels.
- Pan/tilt/zoom camera controls for the broadcast director
- A commissioners chambers with a large format LED display and video conferencing capabilities.
- Interconnectivity between the commissioners chambers and the main assembly hall allowing the commissioners to receive any source from the assembly hall if desired.
- A press room that provides local journalists with 3G-SDI video and Line-level audio feeds for convenient ingest into broadcast environments.
The collective improvements for the project provide the latest technology benefits available. For example:
- Fulton county’s two Annex locations will have the ability to connect to the main assembly hall during meetings via video teleconferencing to allow remote participation.
- Youtube/web streaming will be available as an alternative to traditional broadcast using H.264 encoding systems.
- In the clerk well, the clerk technical team will be able to operate the Granicus agenda management and voting system in addition to full AV system control.
- The clerk area has two dedicated 98” displays to perform functions.
- The system is equipped with Assistive listening in the form of traditional RF and WiFi using ListenTech’s ListenAnywhere application on attendee phones.
- Closed captioning feed is also provided from the broadcast suite back to the assembly hall.
In addition to upgrades in technology to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners Assembly Hall, a new lighting design with updated controls and new LED fixtures along the presentation walls will assist in showcasing the beauty of Assembly Hall. As reported on the Fulton County website, the renovation is currently scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020.
