DESIGN: Center expanding its operationsContinued from Page D1worth, but the company has added an environmental engineering department and a new firm, Con-, struction Alaska, a construction management service to help complete projects from conception to ribbon-cutting.That’s a far cry from the civil engineering and surveying work the company did 50 years ago.“It’s a credit to our philosophy,” Wilbur said “That’s what we strove to be. We strive toprovide our clients a full-range of services under one roof.”Wilbur said the company is running low on new areas of expansion, but wants to consider building in a new direction: horizontally, meaning highway design and bridge construction.As a third-generation Fair-banksan with deep roots in Alaska, Wilbur has increased Design Alaska’s involvement in the community by sponsoring arts and music events, working with theUniversity of Alaska Fairbanks and serving on various boardsand committees around town.The company held a 50th anniversary celebration on Friday, and Wilbur said his goal for the event was to spread a simple message.“The message that I have been trying to get out into the rest ofthe community in our 50th yearis how important it is to be a good corporate citizen,” Wilbur said.Contact staff writer Eric Lidji at 459-7504.
