Company history

Cosentini Associates was founded in 1952 by William Randolph Cosentini as W.R. Cosentini and Associates. William Cosentini was the second born child of Italian immigrant parents Eugenio and Vincenza Cosentini. He earned his MA in mechanical engineering from New York University. Two years after founding the company, William Cosentini died in 1954 at 41 years of age.

The company was established to provide consulting services in the mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines. What started out as a six-person firm has grown to employ more than 300 workers. The company is headquartered at 498 Seventh Avenue [1] in New York City. The firm also has offices in other US cities including Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Houston. [1]

Project types include corporate headquarters, high-rise commercial office buildings, tenant interiors, libraries, academic facilities, museums and performing arts centers, government office buildings, command and control facilities, hotels, residential towers, large-scale mixed- use developments, healthcare and R&D facilities, courthouses, and mission-critical facilities.

In 1999, Cosentini greatly expanded its engineering and design resources by joining Tetra Tech, Inc., a nationwide alliance offering consulting, engineering, and technical services. With nearly 20,000 associates in 400 offices around the world, [2] [3] the company supports commercial and government clients in engineering design, resource management and infrastructure, telecommunications support services, applied science, management consulting, and construction management.
