Michael Baker Corporation is an engineering and energy management corporation headquartered in the Pittsburgh suburb of Moon Township, Pennsylvania. It's headquarters is located in Airside Business Park, an office park near the Pittsburgh International Airport that the company designed. Baker was formed in 1940 under the direction of a military engineer. The company was initially a small government subcontractor, but has grown into an international firm in the past half century.
