BUSINESS OPENINGS
Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber recently announced it has acquired Northwest Consultants Inc. The July 27 acquisition brings together two privately-held consulting firms rooted in infrastructure engineering services in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana to better serve the Midwest.
“This acquisition is a fantastic opportunity for both Fishbeck and NCI, and I am excited to welcome a new group of accomplished experts to the Fishbeck team,” Fishbeck President and Principal Jeff Schumaker said. “NCI is a recognized leader in the industry with dedicated staff, a commit- ment to quality work and core values that closely align with Fishbeck.”
Established in 1985, NCI’s team of 37 employ- ees includes several professional engineers and surveyors licensed within its four offices in Canton, Mich.; Toledo and Dayton, Ohio; and Indianapolis, Ind. As a Point of Beginning Top 100 Company, NCI is a recognized leader in the following concentrated disciplines:
■ Bridge Inspection
■ Bridge, Culvert & Struc- tural Design
■ Roadway, Street & Free- way Design
■ Civil Site, Planning & Utility Design
■ Storm & Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
■ Water Distribution Systems
■ Construction Administration / Inspection

Fishbeck, an engineer- ing, environmental sciences, architecture, and construc- tion manage ment firm, employs over 400 indus- try experts in 11 cities: Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rap- ids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Macomb, Novi and Traverse City in Michigan; Cincinnati and Columbus; and India- napolis, Ind.
By acquiring NCI, Fish- beck will not only develop a greater presence in Ohio, but it will shape new oppor- tunities to grow its services in the Midwest, including utilizing NCI’s surveying exper- tise for integrated projects.
The Entrepreneurs Center (TEC) recently announced that Nucleus, the co-working solution powered by TEC, is moving from its current home at 444 East Second Street to the Kuhn’s building at 15 West Fourth Street in down- town Dayton. The Kuhn’s building is attached to TEC’s future home at The Arcade. The move signals continuing progress toward the development of The Arcade and its grand re-opening scheduled for late 2020.
Co-working solutions, including Nucleus, feature shared workspaces that offer a combination of subscriptions, day passes, and open houses to allow professionals access to a wide variety of resources. These resources typically include all the features of a conventional office, like desks, collaborative areas, meeting rooms, and even amenities like kitchens, break rooms, coffee and snacks.
Nucleus also prides itself on offering a supportive community with members who value of collaboration. Nucleus hosts multiple community-building events each month including Early Risers, Fourth Friday and Pints and ‘Preneurs, in partnership with TEC, Dayton Tech Guide, Downtown Dayton Partnership and Wright Brothers Institute (WBI), to name a few.
The move to the Kuhn’s building preempts TEC’s move to The Arcade as an anchor tenant together with University of Dayton. The joint venture between the organizations is aimed to further bolster entrepreneurial education and activity in the Dayton region. The two organizations will occupy just under 100,000 sq. ft. and have signed a 10-year lease. TEC’s space at The Arcade will offer co-working, as well as office rental for businesses from one to 20 employees, plus flexible meeting and conference space available to be reserved by members and the public.
TEC is anticipating moving into The Arcade in late 2020.
