Our mission is to deliver engineering leadership and innovative solutions for complex projects.
The implementation of our vision and mission helps our clients do great things to improve lives and protect the future. From better medicines, climate-sensitive energy supply, and sustainable use to education at the highest level and cutting-edge healthcare, we are driven to find unique solutions that solve client and world challenges.
From mentorship to leadership, we are passionate about our clients, our work, our people, and positively impacting society. It is with this spirit we endeavor to advance and grow, following an insightful and informed strategic vision.
AEI is committed to helping our clients design an environment that encourages academic excellence and collaborative learning.
From enabling at-home COVID-19 test kits to maximizing hospital flexibility, we are committed to enhancing public health.
Social Responsibility
Awareness, planning, and proactivity are our tools for enduring in the face of short- and long-term risks to our livelihood. If we take time to consider threats to sustainability and assess the long-term impacts of our decisions, we can build resiliency into our daily lives and designs that keep our communities safe and the environment clean.
Committed to a Sustainable Future
From transforming air quality through the world's largest net-zero emissions testing facility to fostering revolutionary biomedical research, our projects are changing the world, one facility at a time.
Receiving a Gold Sustainability Award in the Los Angeles Business Journal's 2022 Commercial Real Estate Awards program and a Design Excellence Award in Lab Manager's 2022 awards program, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Southern California Headquarters is a beacon for sustainability and climate action. Exceeding California Title 24 requirements by 30 percent and lowering overall energy cost savings by 75 percent, CARB's headquarters produces all energy onsite – ensuring resilient and uninterrupted operations.
CARB headquarter's energy use is offset by 3.8 MW of onsite photovoltaic (PV) panels.
An N+1 Water Generation system integrated into the overall upstream processing water storage and distribution network.
Recognizing the significant impact of our work on society and the global environment, AEI brings a fundamental commitment to ensuring that our work reflects the highest standards in sustainable design practices.
Energy reduction is implemented through:
- Aircuity® and demand control ventilation
- Fume hood occupancy-based control
- High-efficiency LED lighting
- High-performance glazing
- Electrical vehicle charging
- Adiabatic humidification
- Active chilled beams
- Exterior louvers
- Daylighting
- Fluid cooler
Enabling Scientific Innovation
A modern embodiment of excellence in design, construction, and purpose, the advanced drug manufacturing facility integrates new cutting-edge technologies to aid in the development of small molecule and biological products.
A holistic, integrated approach and unparalleled team collaboration, passion, and dedication have culminated in a state-of-the-art facility that effectively achieves the client's goal and vision — to provide reliable, cost-effective, advanced capabilities for developing innovative medical countermeasure products against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
Resilience's commitment to building a sustainable network of high-tech, end-to-end manufacturing solutions ensures medicines can be quickly and safely made at scale. The ADM incorporates an array of engineered systems, including:
- High-purity water system
- Chlorine dioxide decontamination system
- Bio-waste system
- Bio-containment laboratories
- Four BSL-3 CGMP vaccine manufacturing suites
- High-efficiency central utility plant
AEI's process team designed the high-purity water system (USP, WFI), a chlorine dioxide decontamination system, and a bio-waste system, participating in HAZOP reviews, writing SOPs, and producing P&IDs.
Our goal is to create dynamic, inclusive spaces that promote employee interaction and communication.
Improving Patient Outcomes
We create human-centric, technically advanced clinical environments that elevate communities, improve patient outcomes, and address the entire continuum of care — from inpatient and outpatient services to behavioral health facilities and academic medical centers.
Our commitment to enhancing patient outcomes extends beyond the physical infrastructure as we aim to encompass innovative healthcare technologies that enable holistic care approaches. Through meticulous design and integration of cutting-edge medical equipment and systems, we foster interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize treatment efficacy and patient experience. We continually refine and adapt our clinical environment designs to meet the evolving needs of diverse patient populations, ensuring that every individual receives the highest standard of care possible.
Driving Community Impact
Our mission extends far beyond mere walls. We are passionate about supporting the needs of both local and global communities and offer employees dedicated time off for engaging in volunteer activities. From working to end world hunger and aiding in children’s critical healthcare needs to providing scholarships and mentorships that help educate future generations, the organizations we support and partner with continue to have a positive impact on society.
Mentoring various local ACE chapters, AEI helps encourage high school students to pursue careers in the AEC industry through hands-on experiences, like project site tours.
