Structural engineering firm Fast + Epp Structural Engineers Inc has expanded it’s Canadian footprint by opening of a new office in Toronto.
Already based in Vancouver, the company now has a Toronto office at 119 Spadina Ave and further offices in Seattle, New York, Darmstadt and Stuttgart.
The move to Toronto, Ontario, is part of a commitment to Eastern Canada and to providing ambitious and creative structural engineering solutions across North America.
Fast + Epp are currently working on a number of projects including the New Brunswick Museum revitalization and Ādisōke – the Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada joint facility.
The company are also working on the award-winning Limberlost Place at George Brown College, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation Headquarters.
Fast + Epp have placed continued emphasis on collaboration and design excellence in various sectors, including cultural, post-secondary, sports and recreation, civic, and transportation and aviation.
“As a firm dedicated to advancing structural design and propelling architectural imagination across North America, a hub in Toronto is a natural next step for us,” said Robert Jackson, Partner at Fast + Epp.
“We place great value on our ability to provide consistent and exceptional service on all our design commissions, and this new office in Eastern Canada will enable us to do just that.”
Newly appointed Associate Principal Pierre Koch will oversee the Toronto office, boasting 25 years of local experience.
He will be joined by a team of engineers and technicians, with support from Fast + Epp’s North American and digital offices.
“It’s an exciting time to be in Toronto. There continues to be great design opportunity for architectural expression and exposed structure on many projects in the region, and we are eager to play a small role in contributing to them,” said Jackson.
“Our commitment to reducing embodied carbon within our structures is stronger than ever, and we look forward to collaborating with designers who share these same values.”
