Buro Happold Opens Five New Offices, Adds Key Regional Leaders
The award-winning multidisciplinary design firm and consultancy Buro Happold has announced an unprecedented expansion in the United States, including five new offices and more than a dozen key people added in cities from San Francisco to Washington, DC. Unveiled by Buro Happold’s U.S. , the firm’s presence in North America has vaulted from seven offices to 12, now including active locations in San Diego, Seattle, Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., and Raleigh-Durham. In addition, the award-winning consultancy has named a noted leader in sustainable design and technical excellence, Justin Schultz, P.E., to lead its growing San Francisco office. The moves presage a growth period in such sectors as healthcare, science and technology, cultural buildings, mixed-use and commercial complexes, as well as diverse planning and consulting in sustainability, resiliency and climate change adaptation.
Across the continent, Buro Happold has established a new beachhead in Washington, D.C., including a new associate principal, structural engineer Chris Crilly, P.E., LEED AP, known for his work on high-profile, high-design projects with innovative concrete and steel structures. Crilly worked for Buro Happold previously, and led structural engineering teams in the design of hotels, high-rise office and residential buildings, mixed-use and retail complexes, and government facilities. Also joining the D.C. office as principal is Roger Chang, P.E., a LEED Fellow and noted leader in sustainable design who will advance Buro Happold’s Capitol-area team of experts and expand the firm’s reach of world-class design and planning work across the region.
