Preservation Engineering

Preservation engineering is emerging as an integral part of historic preservation and preservation planning. Innovative building rehabilitation has been a part of Meyer Borgman Johnson’s engineering portfolio since John Meyer founded the firm in 1955. Our experience comprises more than one hundred historic renovation projects, thirty of which can be found on the National Register of Historic Places. More than forty have received awards for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and adaptive reuse. Our approach is based on a solid understanding of both contemporary and historic building systems as well as cutting-edge and archaic materials and begins with a focused evaluation of both your building and project goals. From minor repairs to radical reuse, we offer structural solutions that are sensitive to your building’s historic character and site.
