Who Is Keith Hanadel?
Keith Hanadel is an architect with more than 30 years of experience planning and designing facilities for media and broadcast organizations worldwide. His client history includes CBS, Disney, Univision, NBCUniversal, MLB Network, YouTube, PGA Tour and Netflix. That track record spans infrastructure upgrades, coordination with MEP and engineering teams and direction of multi-discipline design groups.
Before joining KMH, Hanadel served as Northeast Region Practice Lead for Media at Gensler. He also spent 23 years at HLW International, where he led the firm’s national Media and Entertainment practice.
Why Did KMH Integration Hire an Architect?
KMH hired Hanadel to complete a fully integrated project delivery model that now brings architecture under the same roof as its other disciplines. The company already combines expertise across MEP coordination, engineering, fabrication, acoustics, set and lighting design and content creation. Adding architecture lets KMH manage every phase of a project as one coordinated effort rather than a collection of separate teams.
The timing reflects broader change across the broadcast and media industries. Organizations are adopting new IP and virtualized workflows, and even non-media companies are building in-house content operations. Those shifts call for a different framework for system integration, one KMH has worked to define for years.
What Is KMH’s Concept-to-Completion Model?
KMH’s concept-to-completion model brings planning, technology, design, engineering and execution together under a single system integrator. The approach is built to carry projects of any scope from first idea to finished facility without handing work off to disconnected outside consultants.
“Our customers are working differently, and bringing Keith onboard is a perfect example of how we’re continually adapting to meet changing expectations,” says Kevin Henneman, president of KMH Integration. “Engaging us early as a single-source partner streamlines collaboration and ultimately improves project outcomes. More important, it reduces the costs and risks that come with piecing together project teams made up of third-party consultants who don’t communicate with each other and aren’t familiar with every aspect of a project’s scope.”
Henneman notes that KMH has applied this design-build approach across markets, bringing projects from concept to completion for The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, JPMorgan Chase and others.
How Does AV Casting Fit In?
AV Casting is KMH’s approach to blending AV and broadcast through specialized engineering expertise. It reflects the market reality that media and non-media organizations increasingly need systems that bridge both worlds. Hanadel’s arrival builds on that foundation, pairing architectural planning with the engineering work that supports these hybrid environments.
What Does the Integrated Model Mean for Clients?
The integrated model gives clients a single point of responsibility with clear lines of accountability. By unifying every project component into one focused team, KMH aims to remove the gaps where communication typically breaks down between separate firms.
“This integrated project delivery model eliminates the points where communication typically breaks down and provides a single point of responsibility with clear lines of accountability,” Hanadel says. “We’re replacing traditional project complexity with streamlined coordination, faster timelines, and even faster decision-making. We can now come to the table with a customer and say, ‘Here’s our goal, here’s our schedule, here’s our budget. Let’s go.'”
For media, broadcast and IT organizations navigating IP and virtualized workflows, that combination of architecture, engineering and execution under one roof offers a clearer path from planning through installation.
