Welcome To Logon Technologies
Great control room design integrates many factors into a harmonious whole, the goal of which is to maximize safety and increase efficiency by enabling operators to respond to abnormal situations in the smallest window of time possible.
When you partner with Logon Technologies, the Nigeria leading control room design consultants, you access unsurpassed expertise in control room design, and it all starts in one place: with your operators. Our approach is operator-centric because the day-to-day realities of how the operator functions lies at the heart of the control center. Understanding the operator’s needs—how they interface with complex systems within a high-pressure environment—is square one, and all other design decisions flow out from that central point
Our control room (also known as an operations center, or an operations control center) design portfolio spans 5 years, and includes over 10 new-build or renovation projects completed around the Nigeria, for clients such as Sterling Bank, Ikoyi Club, Genesis Hotel Ikeja, etc
Designing a control room is like conducting a symphony with different sections for strings, brass, woodwind and percussion. Great control room design assembles different elements into a harmonious whole. The different control room design criteria that need to be considered to optimize utility are:
The risk of an abnormal situation escalation is always present in a control room. A state-of-the-art control room gives the operators the ability to return the situation to normal in the shortest amount of time possible, because the human-machine interface is approached holistically. Dozens of factors are taken into account, such as the orientation of consoles, screen information, noise reduction, slip resistance, arc of reach, line of sight, clutter mitigation, manual placement—all of these have the potential to improve or degrade the operator’s reaction time.
Unsafe, unproductive work environments are in the end very costly on a number of different fronts. For example, if an offshore oil platform fails to integrate best practices to avoid an explosion, the result can be a spill. This costs money, but more importantly, it can cost lives and damage the environment. A catastrophic event, such as an oil spill, can be avoided by employing best practices in control building design. We integrate architectural, interior design and human factors elements to deliver the safest, most productive, and most durable workspaces in the petrochemical, mining, utilities and transportation industries.
Be It Oil & Gas, Transportation, Corporation, Chemical, Utilities. Mining, Security Command Centres

The integration of function-driven interior design into every aspect of a control room building is what sets Logon Technologies apart in this industry.
Interior design is a completely integrated component of our control room architectural plans and human-factor ergonomic dictates, whether for a new build or a renovation of an existing control room. Often associated with the artful execution of form, shape and color—interior design is in fact driven first and foremost by functionality in our control rooms. That is because the measure of great control room layout design is the extent to which lighting, acoustics, consoles, furniture and material finishes succeed in meeting or exceeding the needs of the operator. Function leads, form follows, and the goal is to maximize safety and increase efficiency by enabling operators to respond to abnormal situations in the smallest window of time possible.
The console design, furniture, color palette and control room floor plan are an expression of best practices in safety and efficiency. Indeed, the interior design choices are safety-driven, science-based and dictated by ISO 11064 requirements. Durability also plays a big part, and we carefully select finishes that withstand heavy traffic and stand the test of time—finishes that will look good 20 to 30 years down the road. We aim for timeless, not trendy, at every turn.
Our interior design solutions solve operator problems, and there is a reason behind everything we do. Nothing is purely subjective, whether we are talking non-porous materials, the coefficient of friction, thermal considerations, vibration, decibel levels or the correlation of luminance. The return on investment in operator safety and efficiency is real and demonstrable—abnormal situations and catastrophic events have a better chance of being avoided, which saves lives, money and the environment.
When you partner with Logon, you access unsurpassed expertise in control room design, and it all starts in one place: with your operators. Our interior designs are operator-centric, and all design decisions emanate from there.
A funny thing tends to happen on the way to achieving optimum functionality: when something is perfectly fitting—that is, its geometry, proportion, symmetry and composition are just right—harmony is achieved. This type of functional beauty is far from frivolous or whimsical. In fact it is rooted in classical architectural principles of form and function.
Our operator-centric approach to control room interior design is thus both leading-edge modern and firmly rooted in the ideas of the ancients.
At Logon Technologies we employ people who are classically trained in interior design. Control buildings are not generally architectural wonders from the exterior, so it is in the interior design that our buildings really come to life. Ergonomics are at the heart of each design decision, to enable an operator to perform in perfect concert with the surroundings. This is achieved by carefully orchestrating the following elements:
Our control room interior design portfolio spans 10 years, and includes new-build or renovation projects around the Nigeria, for firms such as Nigeria Stock Exchange, Sterling Bank, Genesis Hotel, Our integration of interior design with architecture and human factors in control room layout design is our defining feature, unmatched in the industry.
Chances are your company has very well defined processes that need to be followed when embarking on a significant project such as a new control building or control room. Logon has its own well-defined control room design processes—down to how we pick carpet colors—but more than that, we are adaptable. We are extremely adept at accommodating the established processes of the firms with whom we partner.
TO BOIL IT DOWN TO ITS VERY ESSENCE, OUR WORK PROCESS LOOKS LIKE THIS:
Our first priority is to listen and understand, then to validate and articulate your unique, actual needs. This is not a passive process, because oftentimes a client does not know what it needs to achieve its goal. With your input, we will decide together which objectives are in your interest.
This phase of the process engages the imagination and the intellect on both a macro and a micro level. The big picture begins to emerge, while the fine detail is simultaneously being hammered out. Experience and historical precedence inform the direction, while unique, customized and new elements specific to your company are incorporated.
The design phase is an iterative process involving schematics, 3-renderings, drawings, video or other conceptualizations of what the end product will look like. Your feedback is actively solicited and integrated into each new iteration. When you sign off, you will have a clear understanding of what the future building or room will look like, and how it will function, down to the finest detail.
Convergence starts to happen. Everything up to this point begins to come together and the design begins to answer its own questions. It takes on a life of its own, and the design manifests. When this phase is complete a set of construction documentation is delivered.
