Investing in the Future of the Trades Through MSMU

At MSD, Inc., we are incredibly proud to sponsor apprentices through MSMU, a program dedicated to training the next generation of skilled trades professionals.

The trades industry offers tremendous opportunities for individuals who are ready to work hard, learn continuously, and build a meaningful career. Becoming a trades professional provides stability, hands-on experience, career growth, and the opportunity to make a real impact every single day. Skilled tradespeople help build, maintain, and improve the systems that keep businesses, schools, hospitals, and facilities operating safely and efficiently.

The demand for skilled workers continues to grow, and programs like MSMU are helping prepare apprentices with the strong foundation they need to succeed.

Supporting Growth Through Education and Hands-On Learning

MSMU, located right here in Ohio, is committed to providing quality education, hands-on training, and real-world learning experiences for apprentices entering the trades. Through classroom instruction and practical application, apprentices develop the technical knowledge and field skills needed to build successful careers.

At MSD, Inc., we proudly send our apprentices to MSMU because we believe investing in education and professional development is one of the best ways to strengthen both our industry and our team.

The combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience gives apprentices the opportunity to grow their confidence, expand their knowledge, and prepare for long-term success in the field.

Building Strong Foundations for the Future

Recently, our Level 1 Sheet Metal apprentices worked on scale drawings and order forms during training. These are critical skills that help ensure accurate measurements, proper material ordering, and smooth project execution in the field.

Learning these fundamentals early is an important part of developing into a successful trades professional. Attention to detail, planning, and understanding the process are skills that carry throughout an apprentice’s entire career.

It is exciting to watch these apprentices continue learning and growing as they build the foundation for their future.

MSD is proud to sponsor MSMU and support our apprentices every step of the way as they pursue rewarding careers in the trades.

WPAFB Sensors Lab

Wright-Patt Air Force Base sought contractors to renovate and add onto the Sensors Lab. The HVAC portion of the project was over $13 million.

  • MSD served as the Design Assist Contractor in conjunction with Heapy Engineering for this project. In collaborating with General Contractor, Butt Construction, MSD provided Design Assist solutions for the following:
    • A large, anechoic chamber
    • An outdoor range
    • Multiple, Class-100 clean rooms
    • A three-story office building addition with DCID 6-9 requirements on many of the rooms

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.

LJB, Inc.

LJB, Inc. was renovating their Miamisburg, OH office and wanted to incorporate energy-saving upgrades.

  • MSD provided Design Build services in tandem with Greensleeves Energy Solutions, a specialist in geothermal systems.
  • MSD and Greensleeves installed a new geothermal HVAC system with open and closed loops. In addition, MSD design and installed the plumbing portion of the renovation.
