In 1951, mechanical engineers, Frank Bridgers and Don Paxton, founded the company we know of (and love) today as Bridgers & Paxton. Just like our founders, we’re not just trying to find any solution, but an innovative one – like when they designed the first solar-heated office building in 1956. From the very beginning our leadership has shaped the engineering industry; their involvement as local and national Presidents of ASHRAE and ACEC inspire our current leadership to carry the legacy (or torch) forward.

Over the last six decades we’ve added electrical engineering (1995) and a slew of other services like energy modeling, BIM and technology to our arsenal. Our evolution throughout the years has allowed us to expand our portfolio with new projects and clients and maintain longstanding ones such as Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, both of whom have been clients for over 70 years.

What began as two eager mechanical engineers starting a new venture in a tiny garage has grown to a company of 130+ employees, three offices, and a well-respected reputation.
