Altieri, a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEPF) firm serving architects and building owners, recently announced the opening of its new office in Boston. With the expansion, Altieri is strengthening relationships with valued clients and developing new associations in Boston and the Northeast region.

For over 60 years, Altieri has differentiated itself by aligning its design aspirations with those of its architectural clients and anticipating the impact architectural visions have on Altieri’s system designs. Altieri has worked on projects in the region since the mid-1980s including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Brown University Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, and The Goel Center for Theater and Dance at Phillips Exeter Academy. The firm’s first project in Boston was a mechanical systems assessment at the Boston Public Library. A recent project has Altieri at the Library again, providing master planning services for the historic McKim Building.

A certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Altieri designs optimal environments for scores of cultural, educational, community, historic, and private residential projects around the country. In 2020, the firm was awarded the Architectural Engineering Institute Most Innovative Project Under $100M for its work at the Corning Museum of Glass, Contemporary Art + Design Wing and Amphitheater Hot Shop. Prioritizing environmentally responsible design has been a distinction of the firm’s work since the early 1960s. Over 40 of Altieri’s projects have been awarded LEED® certification.

“We are excited that this new office enables us to provide closer support to existing and new clients in Boston and the surrounding region, meeting design challenges with solutions that set the pace for a sustainable future,” says Michael Freliech, P.E., Principal and head of Altieri’s new office.
