Through a commitment to optimizing spaces, AKF’s MEP/FP Engineering and Integrated Services power human potential.
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.

As New Haven experiences a boom with biotech, housing, and massive redevelopment efforts, we are proud to share our strong presence in the area and some of the ways we have contributed our expertise to projects that are fueling New Haven’s transformation! AKF has provided engineering, design, and technology expertise to Yale University and Yale New Haven Health, two institutions driving this boom with groundbreaking new research and innovation. We have also been instrumental in the completion of projects for Alexion Pharmaceuticals at 100 College Street; Master Planning at New Haven Science Park; and fit-outs at Winchester Works for tenants such as Halda Therapeutics, Artizan Biosciences, and Quantum-SI. AKF’s work in New Haven’s science and technology sector also includes studies for AtlasXomics and Bio CT. As a result of New Haven’s biotech and life sciences boom, thousands of new rental units have been built in the last several years or are currently in construction. AKF and our lighting brand Lightcraft have contributed to the design of several, including 18 High and Acme Timber Lofts. 40% of the new housing units in New Haven are designated as affordable, restricted to specific income guidelines, to ensure the building boom does not financially displace residents. Here's to the future of New Haven! #NewHaven #BioTech #LifeSciences #SciTech #PoweringHumanPotential
