New York University

New York University (NYU) is one of the most prestigious educational institutions globally, known for its diverse academic programmes, cutting-edge research, and world-class faculty. As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, NYU embarked on a significant project to enhance its campus infrastructure. This initiative aimed to provide students, staff, and visitors with a more modern, efficient, and sustainable learning environment.

Design Confidence's expert engineering and advisory services played a pivotal role in the project, particularly in the areas of fire and life safety systems. Our team was engaged to assess and provide comprehensive recommendations for the building’s fire safety strategies, ensuring that the design met stringent safety standards while maintaining the aesthetic and functional goals of the project.

By conducting rigorous fire and smoke modelling, as well as staircase pressurisation modelling, Design Confidence helped optimise the building’s emergency evacuation procedures, ensuring that they would perform efficiently in the event of an emergency. Our team’s advisory role also extended to guiding the client through the regulatory landscape, ensuring that all designs were compliant with local codes and international best practices.
