Mead’s pioneering work in hydropower sparking our journey into renewable energy. Since 1900, Mead & Hunt has expanded from its Midwest roots into a national, full-service architectural, engineering, planning, and construction firm. Today, we provide services nationwide and employ over 1,400 people.
