Integrated S&T Design The acquisition of CUH2A by HDR creates the world’s most comprehensive science and technology design firm, uniting life sciences, physical sciences and healthcare design with translational bench-to-bedside facilities. This positions the firm to cross-sell integrated AEP services to universities, government labs and corporate R&D campuses seeking end-to-end lab, biocontainment, nanotech, vivarium and clean-room capabilities.

Global Delivery Network With more than 40 locations worldwide and a deep AEP bench, the combined organization can pursue multi-site campus and capital projects, enabling national and international engagements and coordinated program delivery for large research parks, university campuses and government facilities.

Public Sector Growth Recent leadership hires and project wins in transportation and infrastructure signal expanding demand in transit, highways and public-sector campuses, creating sales opportunities to pursue transit hubs, rail projects and government lab or university campus expansions.

Tech Enabled Delivery A technology stack including Ansys Fluent, Newforma, AWS CloudFormation, GraphQL and BIM/CAD tools supports advanced simulation, energy and performance modeling, cloud collaboration and integrated project delivery, enabling faster, safer design for labs, clean rooms and biocontainment facilities.

Credibility and Momentum 2026 milestones such as Employer of the Year recognition and strategic hires, plus new client engagements, demonstrate market momentum and credibility in transportation and healthcare-adjacent sectors, making it easier to win RFPs from universities, healthcare systems and government agencies.
