Scheeser Buckley Mayfield

Scheeser Buckley Mayfield is an Akron, Ohio, MEP engineering firm that’s been at it since 1959. It’s a staff of roughly 40 to 45 that designs mechanical, electrical, plumbing and central plant systems for hospitals, schools, government buildings and churches, and the firm says it’s worked in 16 states. Its newest completed job is the $42 million Hoke County Justice Center in Raeford, N.C., where SBM did MEP design for the design-build team led by Silling Architects, Metcon and J&K General Contractors. Courthouse MEP isn’t glamorous. It’s holding cells, secure air paths and backup power that have to work on the first day, and SBM has built a regional practice around exactly that kind of detail.
