What We Do
BR+A was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1975 by Gene Bard, Arjun Rao, and Ted Athanas. With just 11 MEP design engineers and a few rooms packed with drafting tables, they built a firm that would become respected for solid engineering and even stronger relationships. Over the past four decades, we’ve been through a few transitions. While many things have changed, a lot is still the same. Today, we operate fourteen offices and employ hundreds of dedicated team members, but we are still proud to be an employee-owned firm. And although we’ve traded our drafting tables for BIM, AutoCAD and Revit, we continue to make MEP excellence the core of our practice—while helping our clients explore innovative design solutions. BR+A creates environments that make a difference. We engineer responsive, high-performing buildings where people and ideas thrive. Our diverse and talented team is dedicated to becoming a true partner to clients and a vital part of their organization, by fostering a culture where creativity is celebrated and collaboration fuels mutual success. BR+A. Responsive buildings. Responsive people.
