Akima is a leading provider of mission-focused solutions to the federal government in the core areas of information technology; facilities and ground logistics; aerospace solutions; training; protective services; systems engineering; mission support; furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E); and construction.
The company recently celebrated the opening of its new 35,000-square-foot Huntsville office with a ribbon cutting ceremony. This office expands on Akima’s long-term commitment to Huntsville’s defense, aerospace, and technology sectors.
Akima’s new office provides a beautiful, secure, and functional workspace. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the office with an abundance of natural light, while a kayak installed in the lobby honor the company’s Alaskan heritage of being a Native-owned enterprise.
A local design team from McMillan Pazdan Smith (through the Fuqua & Partners Architects integration) designed the new office. It features modern workstations, private offices, multiple conference rooms, as well as collaborative areas and a large breakroom.
Akima’s news release states, “The new facility strengthens Akima’s ability to deliver mission-essential solutions while creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.”
The company is making significant investments into Huntsville’s economy by creating high-quality jobs that expand its local workforce in aerospace, IT, engineering, logistics, and mission support.
The project team included Huntsville’s Doster Construction (GC), with furniture solutions provided locally by Business Interiors.
