Dimensional Innovations, an experience design and fabrication firm headquartered in Kansas City, has transitioned to employee ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan effective immediately, reinforcing its commitment to long-term independence amid rising industry consolidation.
The company said the move comes as private equity investment in the design and fabrication sector accelerates. Rather than pursuing outside ownership, Dimensional Innovations opted to place ownership directly in employees’ hands, a step leadership believes will strengthen accountability, enhance collaboration, and encourage forward thinking across the organization.
Founded more than 30 years ago, Dimensional Innovations delivers large-scale experience design and fabrication projects for professional and collegiate sports franchises, higher education institutions, healthcare systems, and Fortune 500 companies nationwide. Its portfolio includes work for major clients and destinations such as the Intuit Dome, Accenture, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Texas A&M University.
The firm operates more than 200,000 square feet of design and fabrication space in the Kansas City region and maintains additional offices in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, and Denver. With more than 230 in-house experts, the company provides concept-to-completion services across sports, culture, higher education, entertainment, healthcare, transportation, and corporate environments.
Leadership said the ESOP structure is designed to preserve the company’s culture and independence while giving employees a direct financial stake in the value they help create.
