EAPC Architects Engineers

What EAPC Architects Engineers does

EAPC Architects Engineers is a privately held, multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm founded in 1967 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The firm provides integrated design services spanning architecture, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering, commissioning, construction management, interior design, lean methodologies, safety and security, and site entitlements. It serves institutional clients across six primary verticals: civic, healthcare, higher education, industrial, K-12 education, and Native Nations, with an additional category for worship, wellness, hospitality, and recreation projects. Headquartered in Grand Forks with a footprint of 10 offices across North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Arizona, EAPC employs approximately 180-200 professionals and operates as a sales-led professional services firm compensated through project-based professional fees delivered via proposals, RFQs, and a public bidding portal.

The firm's core technology is an integrated multidisciplinary delivery model that brings architects, engineers, planners, and interior designers together under one roof, supported by a client-centric design methodology centered on dedicated project managers, core team continuity, weekly progress meetings during early phases, milestone reviews, and monthly site walks for quality control. The firm operates several market-specific service lines and sub-brands, most notably the Native Nations Studio launched in H2 2025 to serve Tribal Nation partners with architecture, planning, fund-sourcing, capacity-building, and sustainability services grounded in Indigenous perspectives; the studio reports partnerships with more than 60 Tribal Nations.

EAPC is led by CEO Jim Tyler and President Alan Dostert, with a C-suite including CFO Cory Vaughn, COO Sam Wilke, CSO Leap Chear, CAO Sean Sugden, and CQO Wayne Dietrich. Notable recent activity includes selection as part of the local-led team, alongside Gensler and McGough Construction, for the new Fargo Convention Center, the elevation of Dan Abeln and Brett Donat to Associate Partners, and the return of Kevin Dominick, PE, to lead mechanical engineering in the Phoenix office. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition history, and has grown primarily through organic expansion over nearly six decades.
