About us
In 1989, AKF was founded in response to clients’ needs for a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection firm that provided engineering leadership, better communication, and direct access to the best talent to solve the challenges they faced. We created a firm with a flat organizational structure that eliminated bureaucracy and needless hierarchy, allowing clients to directly connect to the team with the best solutions to complex engineering challenges. Our obsessive drive to be responsive to the needs of our clients led us to add a suite of services. By bringing our integrated field, design, and technical services together under a single point of contact, we further eliminated project friction and provided leadership from conceptual design through ongoing facility operations. Whether in workplace, higher education, hospitality, or healthcare, AKF’s clients rely on our depth of knowledge to drive solutions that meet the needs of today with the inspiration for tomorrow’s built environment. AKF participates in CANstruction, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Cycle for Survival, the American Heart Association's Wall Street Run and Heart Walk, and the Special Olympics Minnesota's Polar Plunge. Within our communities, we volunteer with the ACE Mentor Program, partner with the Salvadori Center, and collaborate with YouthBuild Boston to provide pro-bono engineering services while mentoring local students on engineering principles. On May 1, 2024, AKF joined WSP, one of the world’s leading professional services firms. The uniting of our firms provides expanded opportunities for our people and our clients to access WSP’s global network of expertise across every facet of the built environment while maintaining the focus on entrepreneurship and innovation that is central to who we are at AKF. Together, we will continue our shared commitment to cutting-edge engineering, decarbonization, and client satisfaction.
