Robert Darvas Associates, Pc

Robert Darvas Associates, P.C. began in 1961 as Robert Darvas and Associates. The company is named after its founder, Robert M. Darvas, an engineer who left his position as senior structural designer for the Chicago-based firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill to accept a position as Professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan. In September of 1979, Robert Darvas and three of the registered engineers on his staff incorporated to form the present professional corporation. Mr. Darvas and two of the original principals of the firm remain with Robert Darvas Associates today. In that time, RDA has worked on a myriad of projects, achieved recognition as an authority in the field of structural engineering, and received many design awards from the AIA and industry associations. Our projects include the Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs, the Underground Law Library at The University of Michigan, the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, and renovations and additions to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. More recently, RDA designed the structural engineering for the Ann Arbor Traverwood Branch Library, the Mark Jefferson Science Complex at Eastern Michigan University, and the thirty story EnV Tower in downtown Chicago.
