Join Jeffrey Rios, PE at the AIA New York | Center for Architecture Office-to-Residential Conversion Symposium this Friday, 11/22! Jeff lends his sustainability expertise to the 10 AM panel discussion "Highrise Office to Residential Conversions: Design, Life Safety and Energy Considerations". This symposium explores innovative solutions in the evolving landscape of office-to-residential conversions. As cities grapple with surplus commercial space and pressing housing shortages, this event delves into the complexities and opportunities presented by the adaptive reuse of existing structures. We hope you can join as we discuss how our efforts can reshape urban living, promote sustainability, and enhance community vitality in our built environment! https://lnkd.in/eFprJjXW #AIANY #OfficeToResidentialConversion #SustainableDesign #AdaptiveReuse #PoweringHumanPotential

Through a commitment to optimizing spaces, AKF’s MEP/FP Engineering and Integrated Services power human potential.
关于我们
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 proud to participate in Design Build Excellence X-Training, a program that promotes interdisciplinary processes and provides training and resources to young professionals across the AEC industry! Last night, AKF emerging engineers and colleagues responded to a mock RFP for a commercial to residential conversion. Participants presented their design approach, the result of 12 weeks of work, to a mock panel comprised of owner reps, architects, construction managers, and engineers who provided constructive feedback. Congrats to all participants, including AKF's Josh Jiang, Dominik Kovalcik, and Brady Smith! A special thank you to AKF members who serve as program leadership Diana Bilous, Andrew Carlson, P.E., and Dennis Michel, as well as program partners Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Syska Hennessy Group, and Turner Construction Company! https://dbextraining.com/ #DesignBuild #CrossTraining #AEC #EngineeringLeadership #EmpoweringHumanPotential

It's no surprise that our Lightcraft experts have exceptional talent outside of lighting design! Check out how our Lightcraft team members express themselves artistically when not creating designs that light up our built environment! #LightingDesign #CreativeOutlets #ArtisticTalent #ExpressYourself
Our own Hyo Jeong (Hue) Lee- IALD, MIES, LEED AP BD C, IIDA was excited to share her art at last week's Moonlighting Exhibition presented by DLFNY, IES NYC, and IALD NY! In addition to being a skilled lighting designer, Hue is a talented painter. In fact, all of our Lightcraft members have a passion for creating works of art when they're off the clock, expressing themselves through mediums like acrylics, ceramics, and photography. We are so proud of these individuals, as well as the other members of our lighting design community who shared their art with us at the Moonlighting Exhibition! Scroll through our carousel of images to see art from Lightcraft members, and check out the link below for more on this event! https://lnkd.in/e9NTsvnc Thank you to the IESNYC, International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) NY, and Designers Lighting Forum of New York (DLFNY)!

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
