Hospital Division

NYA has served as Structural Engineer of Record on more than 40 major healthcare facilities throughout California. Our team understands the unique demands of OSHPD review, SB 1953 compliance, and the critical nature of designing structures that must remain operational after a major seismic event.

From ground-up acute care towers to precision retrofits of historic hospital wings, we bring decades of focused healthcare expertise to every engagement.
