Arup has announced the opening of its newest office at 1330 Broadway in Oakland. The office — covering 16,000ft2 — will house a team of 50 engineers and consultants with expansion space for 100 staff.
"Arup is excited to grow our Bay Area presence to better serve our East Bay clients and to be part of the Oakland community," said Aidan Hughes, principal and group leader of Arup's San Francisco office.
Arup Oakland will open as a multidisciplinary office, providing professional services including building and infrastructure engineering and consulting services. The office leadership team will consist of John Worley, Joseph Collins, Jacob Wood, and Sara Paul.
John Worley, principal and office leader in Oakland, said, "We wanted to expand our footprint across the bay for a while. We currently have 300 people in San Francisco. Expanding to Oakland provides growth opportunities for our team and better service for our East Bay clients. Looking ahead, the Oakland office will continue to grow as part of the city's dynamic growth."
Arup's Oakland office expansion was a collaboration with TMG Partners, Gensler, Skyline Construction, and Cushman Wakefield, and highlights the firm's collaborative culture and history of innovation.
