Business Interiors is proud to have provided the furniture solutions and installation for Akima’s 31,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama.

This project represents a significant milestone for Akima, as it provides a secure and high-performance workplace tailored to their mission-driven work and underscores their commitment to Huntsville. McMillan Pazdan Smith (formerly Fuqua & Partners Architects) designed the new office, which features a comprehensive furniture solution that includes Herman Miller Canvas workstations, private offices, multiple conference rooms, and collaborative areas, as well as a large breakroom.

Business Interiors worked closely with the A+D firm to select finishes and refine the layout details. We also seamlessly coordinated with Akima’s team at their corporate headquarters in Washington D.C., handling all logistics for remote finish packages, showroom walkthroughs, and demo chair deliveries.

A unique aspect of this project was the successful integration of Akima’s Alaska Native heritage into the design. Culturally significant elements, such as a kayak installed in the lobby ceiling and authentic artifacts, that honor the company’s roots and complement the building’s natural surroundings. The floor-to-ceiling windows and mature trees provided a compelling connection between the interior and exterior environments, enhancing the design intent and creating a beautiful and functional workspace.

Business Interiors is proud to have partnered with Akima, delivering a dynamic and functional workspace that honors their heritage and supports their mission. We are privileged to have been selected for this competitive bid and to contribute to a space that will help them “win,” which is the Iñupiaq translation of “Akima.”

Opening in May 2024, Auburn University opened the Hood McPherson Building in downtown Birmingham after renovating the historic building into a new 44,000-square-foot urban campus. This project provides a new home for two key departments: the Harbert College of Business and the Auburn University College of Architecture, Design and Construction (CADC).

Williams Blackstock Architects was the A+D firm on the project, that the 2025 IIDA Alabama IDIE Awards recognized, where it received both the “Best of Education (Higher Ed)” and “Best in Show” awards for their superb work.

The Business Interiors team partnered with AU and WBA to provide furnishings for many of the open areas, creating a state-of-the-art academic environment.

BI’s furniture scope for the six-floor project focused on creating a transparent and adaptable environment for students. The main areas included studio galleries, workshare open office spaces, classrooms, and collaborative rooms. The building’s design serves as a teaching tool, with exposed structural, mechanical, and electrical systems reinforcing the CADC’s hands-on learning philosophy. The new campus connects students to Birmingham’s urban fabric, shaping the future of design, construction, and business.

This award-winning project is a great example of combining the old with the new, and we’re proud to be a part of it.
