According to President Wilford Sheng, "While our engineering firm has been located in Hagerstown since 1971, for the past many years we have been leasing space. We decided to purchase our building, and look forward to making improvements." Mr. Sheng said that AESI had been searching for another location, "We looked for a headquarters office building throughout the area, and investigated many possibilities. However, after a lot of soul-searching, we made the decision to stay in downtown Hagerstown, and continue to grow our surveying and engineering business right here." The three story brick building is located at 34 West Franklin Street, and is 5,700 square feet. "This building was constructed at the turn of the last century, and we are making a commitment to not only save this historic building, but to make improvements over the next several months and years." The building was previously owned by Julian Oliver; the AESI founder retired seven years ago.
