Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges.

We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career.

Our Façade Engineering practice provides consulting services to architects, building owners, and developers.

Our consulting services include materials research, specialty analyses, detailed design, engineering and construction support, and glass and façade failure investigations. In the technology-driven cladding industry, innovation comes with the territory. Nearly two-thirds of the facades we design and engineer are based on customized systems that involved unique combinations of materials.
