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.”
