When projects cross state lines, having the right licensed professionals in place matters.

Congratulations to Brian Jimison, Vice President of Surveying, on earning his North Carolina license. With this addition, MSP’s Survey team is now licensed in six states: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Indiana.

Across MSP, our Architecture, Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Surveying professionals hold registrations across 13 states. Our Interior Design team also includes two NCIDQ Certified designers.

Together with Planning, these disciplines help clients access the right expertise as projects move from early planning through design and implementation.

MSP 170 Series: Before the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden became one of the nation’s premier zoo destinations, its future home first had to be surveyed and planned. In 1874, MSP founder Thomas B. Punshon surveyed the property and helped lay out the grounds that continue to serve generations of visitors today.

In September 1920, Punshon was honored as a “Zoo Pioneer” during the Citizens’ Zoo Fall Festival, as featured in the Cincinnati Enquirer article below.

As we celebrate 170 years, we’re proud to be connected to the history of one of Cincinnati’s most beloved landmarks.

After years of planning, The Light of Hope now has a permanent home in Avondale, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy while connecting it to Cincinnati’s own Civil Rights history.

Located at Martin Luther King Drive and Reading Road, the memorial centers on a bronze statue of Dr. King surrounded by six stained glass panels representing the principles of nonviolence. Together, the memorial creates a place for reflection, learning, gathering, and continued conversation within the community.

MSP partnered with METALab Studios and artist group RE to help bring the vision into the site. Our team led site design, engineering, security design, lighting and electrical engineering, and construction administration, work that required extensive coordination through design, approvals, permitting, and construction.

The recent unveiling marked the culmination of that effort and the beginning of something much longer lasting: a place for Cincinnati to gather, remember, and carry Dr. King’s message forward.

MSP 170 Anniversary Series: Old Barns, New Beginnings
For 170 years, we've helped communities honor their history while planning for the future. These historic barns once served farms and families. Today, they're places where neighbors gather, celebrate, and connect. That's the power of adaptive reuse: preserving what matters while creating something new.

Supporting students means helping remove the barriers between them and their next opportunity.

MSP Design was proud to support Butler Tech’s Fairways to Freeways Golf Outing, where 100% of the proceeds help provide driver’s education tuition and license fees for students in need.

Our VP of Architecture, Dave Clark, brought his son along for a day of golf, connection, and a little fun on the course. We’re grateful to support a longtime client and partner making a meaningful difference for students in our community.
