We design and seismically strengthen buildings where Nobel-prize-winning researchers change the course of medical history and where technology companies change the course of business. Like our clients, we understand the demands of creating the next new technology, and have pioneered the use of innovative technologies for over 30 years: steel shear walls, eccentric braced frames, top-down basement construction using slurry walls, advanced displacement based analysis, fiber wrapped concrete columns, and passive damper walls to name a few.

Partnering with our clients has led to many of our own innovations while we cover all the functional issues of preserving critical operations in the event of a major earthquake. Furthermore we understand the need to minimize disruption during construction. We maintain an acute focus on all the details including: electrical power, HVAC data lines, preserving life-safety systems, and vibration issues. We understand that technology and research methods are constantly changing, and we design change-responsive research and development facilities that promote life safety, enhance energy performance and meet or exceed regulatory requirements.
