MEET GPD WHO WE SERVE WHAT WE DO SEE OUR WORK JOIN OUR TEAM GET IN TOUCH We’re GPD. Here’s Why We’re Different. As an integrated, single-source provider, GPD works to give our clients the results they want and our employees the ideal place to work. We believe in doing the right thing and providing high-quality results—which have helped us grow strong bonds with our clients in the public and private sectors. We don’t have the corporate red tape that can slow down decisions and projects. Instead, we have a unified culture where we are free to be curious problem-solvers with easy access to company talent and resources. Redefining the industry. Transforming your experience. That’s the GPD difference. EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP Our unique broad-based ownership structure is different than a traditional ESOP. It gives meaning to employee ownership by prioritizing the whole team over one individual. Because each employee has a vested interest in the company, we all have a vested interest in one another and in the success of every project. We’re in it together. OUR PURPOSE OUR VISION OUR MISSION Improve the well-being of our employees, clients, communities and business partners by transforming opportunities into success. Our Story We’ve been serving our communities with architecture and engineering services since 1961. What started as a handful of employees in a small Akron office has grown into a 600+ employee company with 14 offices across the United States and a growing national footprint. Our story truly begins with the employee buyout of the firm’s founding fathers in 1986. This laid the groundwork for our unique broad-based employee ownership structure and our operating philosophies that make us stand out. Today, we continue to grow and move forward as a unified group of professionals who provide quality, innovative design solutions for your every need. MEET OUR TEAM Our talented group of architects, engineers, designers, planners—and everyone in between—is what makes GPD special. The leadership team uses their collective experience in the industry and their lasting commitment to GPD to provide guidance to clients and employees to ensure that we are true to our promises and our values. LEARN MORE SOCIAL IMPACT GPD is committed to making positive and lasting impacts that reach further than the roads, buildings and structures we design. From our volunteer efforts in our communities’ schools and parks to our mentorship programs for students and small businesses, we want to be a part of making our communities stronger. It is our belief that if we all come together to do what is right, true and meaningful change can happen.
