2013 was a year of growth and expansion for Wright-Pierce, a multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm serving clients throughout the northeast, improving the firm's ranking by 32 positions to #369 in the Engineering News Record (ENR) 2013 "Top 500" design firms. Engineering News Record, a trade publication and AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry observer, compiles and publishes annual rankings of the largest engineering and construction firms in the U.S. measured by gross revenues.

Wright-Pierce has expanded its staff by 20% since early 2013 to nearly 200 people, adding depth and breadth to both technical and management teams. A Manchester, N.H. office was opened in June, and major expansions have recently been completed at the Andover, Mass. and Middletown, Conn. offices to accommodate projected growth.
