WSP
Overview
As one of the largest engineering and design firms in the United States, WSP continues to expand through rapid growth and strategic acquisitions, including the integration of TRC. With thousands of employees and an increasingly complex real estate portfolio, WSP required a partner capable of delivering seamless workplace transitions while adapting to evolving operational requirements. Although OMA’s relationship with WSP began in 2026, the partnership quickly developed through multiple successful projects involving office relocations, IT support, decommissioning, and specialized laboratory moves. Each engagement has strengthened collaboration, built trust, and positioned OMA as a reliable extension of WSP’s project team.
The Challenge
Supporting WSP meant more than simply moving office furniture. Every project required careful coordination across multiple business units, facilities teams, IT departments, and specialized vendors while maintaining business continuity.
- Learning and adapting to WSP’s internal approval processes and project workflows as a new client.
- Coordinating relocations across multiple stakeholders with varying priorities.
- Managing IT disconnects, reconnects, and asset tracking throughout project execution.
- Executing complex laboratory relocations involving sensitive equipment, including large tensile testing machines requiring specialized rigging.
- Coordinating certified third-party vendors for specialized materials and services outside standard move scope.
- Maintaining aggressive project schedules while minimizing disruption to daily operations
- With multiple stakeholders, building restrictions, freight elevator scheduling, and loading dock coordination, the project required meticulous planning and experienced project leadership.
OMA’s Solution
OMA approached the engagement as a collaborative partnership rather than a transactional move. Working closely with WSP’s facilities, IT, and operational leadership, our team established clear communication channels, defined governance processes, and developed customized execution plans for each project phase. For highly technical environments, OMA conducted detailed site assessments and developed specialized move plans for sensitive laboratory equipment. When specialized certifications or equipment were required, we coordinated trusted third-party partners to ensure compliance, safety, and flawless execution without impacting project schedules.

Spotlight Project: Lexington, Kentucky
One of the partnership’s most notable successes occurred during a relocation project in Lexington, Kentucky.
Extensive planning before move day included inventory validation, scope confirmation, and detailed coordination with stakeholders, allowing the project team to begin with complete visibility into project requirements. Once on site, unexpected changes—including the removal of cubicles before the move—required immediate adjustments to the execution plan. Rather than delaying the project, OMA rapidly re-sequenced work, adapted field operations, and maintained momentum throughout the relocation.
Despite changing site conditions and weather-related challenges, the team:
- Completed the project ahead of the original schedule.
- Successfully decommissioned the existing space to landlord requirements.
- Protected building finishes and minimized risk throughout execution.
- Maintained safety and quality standards from start to finish

OMA’s partnership with WSP has continued to expand through consistent project success and dependable execution.
Highlights
- Successfully completed multiple relocation and decommissioning projects during the first year of partnership.
- Built trusted relationships across WSP’s facilities, IT, and business teams.
