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.

We are so proud to once again be among the teams competing in Canstruction New York, Inc., a design build competition to benefit City Harvest. Check out the structures built of canned goods on display at Brookfield Place through November 11, after which all the cans will be donated to City Harvest. When you visit the exhibit, bring non-perishable food items to donate, and vote for your favorite! AKF's build is a tribute to beloved Phineas and Ferb character, Perry the Platypus, aka Agent P! Time and again, Agent P defeats the evils of the world, such as mad scientist Dr. Heniz Doofenshmirtz and food insecurity. With Agent P on the case, we can battle hunger and provide our local communities with much-needed food resources. https://lnkd.in/eCPrX2Uy #Canstruction #CanstructionNYC #EmpoweringHumanPotential

We are inspired by staff achievements, both inside and outside of the office! Over the weekend, Shannon Kaplan accomplished a truly incredible feat winning first place in her event at the Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR). With 11,000 athletes competing in 73events, it is the world's largest three-day regatta. Shannon took home the gold - beating several former Olympians - in the Women's Senior Master Singles, an event in which she holds the course record. Saturday's win also marks the 11th time Shannon has won this event in a solo boat. We are so proud of Shannon and what she exemplifies, showing what can be accomplished with hard work and dedication! Congratulations! https://lnkd.in/e8DRxX56 #HeadoftheCharles #HOCR #Rowing #EmpoweringHumanPotential
