Heapy Engineering is a mechanical and electrical consulting design firm based in Dayton, OH with a branch office in Columbus, OH and operations in Chicago. Heapy has been in business for 56 years primarily specializing in health care, criminal justice, telecommunications, commercial, and educational facility design. For Heapy, these areas have all experienced considerable growth over the years, and with the increasing demand from clients for commissioning services, they combined to fuel the growth that mandated the move to a larger space for the Dayton staff.
The former office site would not accommodate another building addition, despite the growing space needs. The building had been constructed in 1980 and was added to in 1985 and subsequently remodeled in 1995 to make more space available. Having completely outgrown the present site in only 20 years, the principals did not want this to occur with the new facility.
