McClelland consulting firm reaches 45-year milestone
Posted on Friday, June 27, 2008
Fayetteville-based firm McClelland Consulting Engineers celebrated 45 years of business with an open house Thursday at its offices at 1810 N. College Ave.
James E. McClelland started the firm in 1963 at the same location, working primarily in the northwest part of the state, said Daniel Barnes, president of the Fayetteville office. Since then, McClelland's son has opened a second firm in Little Rock, and the entire company has grown to a staff of 95 employees.
The firm is currently in its second generation of ownership.
It does projects with both government entities and private companies, Barnes said. The types of projects the firm has worked on include environmental projects, road work, drainage, streets, airports, water, wastewater, surveying and landscape architecture.
"We are a design firm who are hired by a developer, or private industry developer, and design drawings for bid, or the private developer, that the project can be constructed from," Barnes said.
McClelland's previous projects include the Alma Aquatic Park, the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport in Highfill, the University of Arkansas south quad parking deck in Fayetteville, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, according to its Web site.
