Burns & McDonnell Moves to New Office in Chesapeake to Accommodate Expansion
CHESAPEAKE, VA — To make room for expansion — doubling the size of its local workforce within the next three years — Burns & McDonnell has relocated operations in Chesapeake, Virginia.
The engineering, construction, and architecture firm's new office is within the Liberty Executive Office Park. The new 27,000-square-foot office occupies the entire third floor of the Liberty III building. Featuring conference centers and digital design areas, the space has room to accommodate 125 professionals. The expansion in Chesapeake is part of the firm's overall growth nationwide — hiring approximately 1,000 professionals annually.
Part of an international team of 7,600 professionals, the Burns & McDonnell office in Chesapeake performs engineering, construction, architecture, consulting, and environmental services to support facilities and infrastructure needs in the Mid-Atlantic region. Burns & McDonnell first opened its doors locally in 2010 and has since supported hundreds of projects for utility, healthcare, higher education, commercial, manufacturing, aviation, and government clients.
"We've proudly called Chesapeake home for nearly a decade, supporting critical infrastructure project needs throughout the region," said Jeffrey Ganthner, AIA, Vice President and General Manager of Mid-Atlantic offices for Burns & McDonnell. "We're expanding our presence here and along the east coast to continue strengthening our communities and delivering topnotch, comprehensive solutions to our clients."
"The secret to our award-winning company culture is employee ownership," Ganthner said. "Our people are employees and owners of 100 percent of the firm. It creates an environment of accountability, innovation, transparency, and trust, which attracts the best of the best in the industry and results in remarkable solutions for our clients."
