Draper Aden Associates (DAA), an engineering, surveying, and environmental services firm, has moved its headquarters office from Blacksburg to Richmond. The move gives the company a more central location as it celebrates its 45th anniversary and positions itself for future growth.
Anniversary events and philanthropic activities are planned through June 2018.
Founded by Joe Draper and Bill Aden, two Virginia Tech alumni, DAA began with six employees and a small office in Blacksburg in 1972. The firm has grown to include more than 250 employees in nine offices in Virginia and North Carolina. The Blacksburg office will remain open, but 150 of the company’s employees, including most of its executive staff, will work from the Richmond area office at 8090 Villa Park Drive in Henrico County.
