Company Description:
Nabih Youssef Associates (NYA) is an internationally recognized structural engineering firm providing specialized structural and earthquake engineering consulting for new and existing buildings. Our design practice is geared towards high profile architecturally intensive building projects, including commercial, institutional and public facilities. We believe that the sky is the limit for structural concepts and ingenuity; however, the structural solutions have to be threaded into the architectural form and ultimately capitalize on the inherent stability attributes of the design form. NYA's significant contribution to the development of Earthquake Engineering Codes and Standards, Performance Based Engineering, and creative value-engineering concepts, coupled with a commitment to engineering quality and performance has given us the ability to provide our clients with cost effective solutions, elegant structural systems and successful projects, from inception to completion. NYA has had the good fortune to collaborate with a wide variety of international design architects and educators; working together to find clear, elegant structural solutions for complex design issues, with many of these projects pushing the envelope of structural engineering. NYA has been a leader in implementing the state-of-the-art technologies, such as base isolation and passive energy dissipation systems. NYA has successfully completed a wide array of projects including: * High rise * Healthcare * Civic * Laboratories * Museums * Religious Institutions * Adaptive Re-use * Educational * Office and Commercial * Large-scale Residential In 2006, NYA was awarded ATC/ENR Top Seismic Project of the 20th Century for the Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral.
