City Engineering Firm Moving To Baltimore County

A local engineering firm is moving to Baltimore County.

RMF Engineering, with headquarters in Baltimore, has signed a lease to move its headquarters to bwtech@UMBC, the University of Maryland Baltimore County research and technology park.

The company will be the first tenant in the park’s new 107,000-square-foot building at 5520 Research Park Drive.

RMF’s headquarters are currently located on West Ostend Street in Baltimore.

The company, with other offices in New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, employs about 100 people at its Baltimore office. RMF plans to expand to about 130 by the end of 2009, following relocation to Baltimore County.

RMF plans to work with UMBC’s College of Engineering and Information Technology by assisting in curriculum development, consulting with faculty and guest lecturing in engineering courses.

“Companies at bwtech@UMBC recognize the business value of locating next to the university campus and building collaborations with faculty, researchers and students,” David Iannucci, executive director for the Baltimore County Department of Economic Development, said in a statement.
