OTTAWA – Arup, a global design, advisory and engineering firm, has opened an office in Ottawa, expanding its presence beyond its three other offices in Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.

Arup has worked in the Ottawa region since the firm’s arrival in Canada in 2000. It all started with planning and design work for the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, explains a release.

Since then, Arup has delivered 26 projects in the National Capital Region (NCR), including the Ottawa VIA Rail Station Platform Renewal Project.

“Arup’s initial focus for the Ottawa practice under the helm of its new office leader Gareth Jones will include the decarbonization and renovation of civic buildings, advisory services and design for bus rapid transit and light rail transit projects across the NCR,” the release reads.

“The opening of our new office in Ottawa demonstrates Arup’s commitment to serving the seat of the Canadian federal government and its surrounding communities,” Jones said.

“There are exciting opportunities ahead as we’re building on the momentum of our work on the Alexandra Bridge Replacement Project and expanding and diversifying our business in Canada.” 

Arup is a collective of 20,000 designers, advisors and experts working across 140 countries.
