APTIM, which focuses on making the natural and built environment more resilient to the effects of climate change for communities now and for future generations, is heading in an exciting direction with a move to The Water Campus in downtown Baton Rouge this fall.
The Water Campus serves as the country’s first major center dedicated to the study of coastal restoration and sustainability. APTIM will be right at home as a leader in designing and delivering solutions that make Baton Rouge and the world more resilient.

With more than 4,000 employees and 55 offices and project locations worldwide, APTIM delivers six award-winning consultancy services: critical infrastructure, technical and data solutions, environmental, program management, resilience, and sustainability and energy solutions. Whether it’s safeguarding and maintaining infrastructure, helping communities recover from natural disasters, enabling our armed forces and first responders, reducing carbon and energy use, making cities more resilient against the threats of changing climate, or restoring ecological systems, APTIM goes to work each day knowing they make an impact on the world.
“Our priority at APTIM is to find space where we can bring everyone together,” says Mark Fallon, APTIM chairman and CEO. “With its modern, efficient, environmentally friendly and human-centered design, APTIM’s new headquarters will be much more aligned with our people-first culture and our roadmap for growth. We are excited to find a space that enables us to collaborate and do extraordinary work for our clients, while also being an attractive destination for our current and prospective employees.”
Fallon says APTIM, like all organizations, is looking at its footprint across the United States. The company’s goal is to be a flexible employer and give employees the option to work from home or from the new location to collaborate with other teammates.
“We will always remember that each of us is a human being who deserves the ability to balance our lives inside and outside of work,” Fallon says. “Working at APTIM means never having to say sorry for being a parent, a partner or a person. We promote decency, equity, hard work, fun, and being there for each other always.”
The way APTIM behaves as a company and as a community is inseparable from the way they serve their clients. Two things make APTIM unique: its mission and its people. Following the deadly and destructive Category 4 Hurricane Ida landfall in late August 2021, APTIM’s first priority was its Louisiana employees. APTIM sprang into action with efforts to provide an additional week of paid time off, food, water, fuel, and critical supplies to employees living in the area. Also, APTIM’s Disaster Response and Recovery team, in partnership with the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness and a range of Louisiana companies, has provided shelter to more than 14,100 survivors of Ida. The program aims to secure appropriate and immediate shelter for survivors and assist them with the transition to FEMA’s Direct Housing Program as applicable.
APTIM’s sheltering program has now become the model for other disaster recovery programs. The company paves the way to provide emergency temporary sheltering in this first-of-its-kind program. APTIM commits to meeting the demands of today while building a better world for tomorrow.
The move to the Water Campus is an important milestone for APTIM’s people, its corporate citizenship in its home city of Baton Rouge, and for its strategy to lead the world in coastal resilience. APTIM is excited for this next phase of the journey.
