Universal Engineering Expands To New York, Elevating Projects With Expert Facade Engineering
Offering Design Development and Integrated Design Expertise at the Center of America’s Architectural Aspiration
Universal Engineering, based in Toronto, with offices in Canada and a respected practice in structural and specialty engineering, is proud to announce we have formally expanded into New York– we are here in New York to provide façade engineering and custom stair design for architects, developers, and contractors. Universal Engineering and our partners offer a unique collaborative, design-led approach, focused on enabling high-performance and compelling designs to come to life, in one of the most dynamic architectural cities in the world.
As New York’s skyline continues to evolve, developers are increasingly reliant on façade engineering in order to deliver a spectacular architectural vision that meets rigorous requirements for safety, performance, and environmental obligations. Universal Engineering announces Façade Engineering New York, an enhanced and on-demand ability to comprehensively review, analyze, design, and assess full building envelopes, including curtain walls, rainscreens, cladding systems, and glazing systems. Our expansion into New York City, seeks to address the increased demand for systems that are as aesthetically refined as they are engineered to resist wind load, transfer heat, handle water ingress, and account for fatigue.
“Façade engineering bridges the art of architecture with the science of building performance,” said a senior project manager at Universal Engineering. “Our presence in New York allows us to partner closely with local firms and contribute to iconic buildings that are as enduring as they are elegant.”
Complementing its façade offerings, Universal Engineering also introduces its Custom Stairs New York service—providing engineering support for both functional and sculptural stair solutions. From dramatic cantilevered staircases in upscale residential towers to code-compliant egress stairs in commercial complexes, the firm delivers detailed structural analysis, code compliance review, fabrication detailing, and construction coordination.
Universal Engineering’s collaborative model ensures that stair and façade elements are integrated seamlessly into the architectural narrative of each project. By working closely with design teams from concept through execution, the firm helps bring bold, expressive designs to life—backed by the rigor of precise engineering and local building code knowledge.
With this expansion, Universal Engineering reinforces its commitment to shaping the built environment through technical excellence and design integrity, making it a valuable partner for New York’s architecture and construction community.
