Entech Engineering, Inc. (Entech) has announced a ten-year extension of its headquarters lease at the Gateway Building on Penn Street, reaffirming a deep and deliberate commitment to the City of Reading and its role as the economic and civic heart of Berks County.<\/p>\n
Founded in Reading in 1981, Entech has maintained its headquarters within the city for more than four decades, growing alongside the community it serves.<\/p>\n
The Gateway Building, located at 2nd and Penn Streets, has served as Entech\u2019s headquarters since 2015 and is home to approximately 100 professionals. Entech\u2019s \u201cfit out\u201d renovation prior to relocation earned recognition as one of Lehigh Valley Business\u2019s \u201cCoolest Offices\u201d in 2017, reinforcing a commitment to creating an engaging, modern workplace in the urban core.<\/p>\n
\u201cDowntown Reading has been part of our story since day one,\u201d said Robert Weir, PE, President of Entech Engineering. \u201cRecommitting to our presence here is about more than office space, it\u2019s about being part of Reading\u2019s continued revitalization and supporting the community that has supported us for over forty-five years.\u201d<\/p>\n
A key component of that investment is Entech\u2019s active engagement with neighboring educational institutions that are helping fuel the region\u2019s engineering and technical workforce. Entech works closely with Reading Area Community College, supporting engineering-related coursework and career pathways in utility operations, and maintains a longstanding relationship with Alvernia University, where Entech professionals serve on the Engineering Advisory Council and regularly host students through mentorships, internships, and experiential learning opportunities. In parallel, Entech provides facilities engineering services to both institutions, reinforcing a two- way partnership that blends education, workforce development, and infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese relationships are intentional and strategic,\u201d said Kirsten, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development at Entech Engineering. \u201cThey ensure students can see a future for themselves in Reading, gain real-world experience here, and build careers here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lease extension secures Entech\u2019s Penn Street headquarters through at least 2035, providing continued proximity to regional partners, clients, educational institutions, and the downtown amenities that support collaboration, recruitment, and employee engagement.<\/p>\n
As Reading continues its revitalization, bolstered by public, private, and institutional investment, Entech remains committed to being not just a participant, but a leader in shaping a resilient, opportunity-driven future for the city and Berks County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Entech Engineering, Inc.
