We are the strength behind your vision. Reaveley Engineers was founded in April 1972 by Ronald J. Reaveley, S.E. as a full service structural engineering firm.

"If it can be imagined, we will find a way to design it." This attitude over the years has led Reaveley Engineers to a large portfolio of successful and technically unique projects

Jerod will share how combining post-tensioned concrete with steel buckling-restrained braced frames streamlined construction, improved seismic resilience, and shortened the project schedule by eight weeks.

The project received the 2026 ACEC Utah Grand Conceptor Award, recognizing its engineering innovation and impact.

At the Southern Utah Museum of Art, a distinctive hovering roof reaches beyond the building to shelter an outdoor plaza. This space hosts receptions, events, and community gatherings alongside the museum’s exhibitions, extending its cultural purpose beyond the galleries.

Reaveley Engineers provided structural engineering to support the roof's architectural vision and the gathering space beneath it. The structural contribution connects a defining architectural feature with a practical benefit for museum users.

Inside, adaptable galleries and educational spaces continue that invitation, creating opportunities to encounter new exhibitions and explore the creative process. Art and community life can meet throughout the museum.

At the Utah Valley Convention Center in downtown Provo, expansive, column-free exhibition halls create flexibility for events of different sizes and purposes. Generous window systems connect visitors to views of the city and surrounding mountains, while a rooftop garden terrace provides outdoor gathering space for up to 1,000 people.

For Reaveley Engineers, the structural challenge was supporting these varied spaces while preserving the design's openness and architectural character.

Working alongside MHTN Architects, Inc. and Okland Construction, Reaveley contributed structural engineering to the 144,000-square-foot facility, helping create a venue that can accommodate everything from large conferences and exhibitions to celebrations and community gatherings.

The LEED Silver-certified convention center brings new gathering opportunities to Provo's historic downtown.

The project illustrates an important relationship between architecture and engineering: thoughtful structural design creates the flexibility, openness, and experiences that make a building valuable to its users.

At Southern Utah University, the Music Center brings those experiences together in a two-story, 51,250-square-foot facility in Cedar City. Its 510-seat concert hall provides a dedicated performance space, while rehearsal and recital spaces support preparation before the audience arrives.

A commercial music suite, percussion studio, piano and computer labs, and recording and production laboratories give students spaces to explore different aspects of music.

From daily instruction to community performances, the Music Center creates more opportunities for students, faculty, and audiences to connect through music.

What happens when a force pushes along a wall instead of directly against it?

That difference is at the heart of the wall's shear moment.

When a force acts parallel to a wall's surface, it creates in-plane loading. Walls designed to act as shear walls help resist these sideways forces.

When a force acts perpendicular to the wall, it creates out-of-plane loading. The wall must resist bending and rely on its connections to transfer forces to the supporting structure.

Both conditions matter, and the same wall may experience each under different loading directions. The interesting part is how these elements work together. A wall's ability to resist forces depends not only on the wall itself, but on how it connects to the rest of the building.

It's a useful reminder that structural engineering is as much about understanding how individual elements interact as it is about designing the elements themselves.

At Deseret Peak High School in Tooele, Utah, tilt-up concrete walls rise more than 80 feet, among the tallest of their kind in the state.

The height is remarkable. But what’s more meaningful is what the structural approach made possible.

The concrete walls serve as both structure and exposed architectural finishes in key areas of the school, including its auditorium and shared spaces. That required the design and construction teams to consider structural performance, appearance, and constructability together from the beginning.

For an owner, those decisions matter. They shape how a building is built, how people experience its spaces, and how well it serves the people who use it.

Last week, Reaveley’s Jerod Johnson led a tour of Deseret Peak High School during the Tilt-Up Convention & Expo in Salt Lake City, sharing the engineering behind this unusual application.

The conference also featured a presentation by VCBO Architecture and Hughes General Contractors exploring broader innovations in educational tilt-up construction.

Congratulations to Tooele County School District and our collaborators, VCBO Architecture and Hughes General Contractors, on a project that continues to contribute to industry learning.

The University of Utah Health Midvalley Health Center brings ophthalmology and dermatology services to patients throughout the Salt Lake Valley, with dedicated spaces for outpatient visits, minor procedures, clinical trials, and a pharmacy.

A significant part of that expanded capacity is found in the Department of Dermatology. Spanning three levels, the department includes 54 examination and procedure rooms, providing substantially more space for patient care than its previous location.

Working alongside University of Utah Health and FFKR Architects, Reaveley Engineers provided structural engineering services for the LEED Silver-certified facility.

Projects like this reflect the importance of collaboration across healthcare, architecture, and engineering. Behind every examination room and treatment space is a shared goal: creating a facility that meets the needs of patients, providers, and the community it serves.

Congratulations to Keith Newton on earning his Structural Engineer (SE) license!

This milestone reflects the time and effort Keith has invested in strengthening his technical knowledge and continuing to grow as an engineer.

As Keith shared:

“Obtaining my SE license has been a tremendous milestone for my growth and development as an engineer. I am more confident in my technical abilities and judgment. I recommend other structural engineers to consider studying and taking the exam.”

For architects, owners, and project teams, continued professional development matters. Decisions about a structure require technical knowledge, sound judgment, and an understanding of how engineering supports broader project goals.

Keith's commitment to that growth is worth recognizing, as is his encouragement to other engineers pursuing their own professional milestones.

Some days, it's a place to work out or play basketball. Other days, it's a quiet room to study, a place to reconnect with friends.

Utah Valley University's Student Life & Wellness Center brings all of those experiences together under one roof.

The facility includes climbing walls, bowling alleys, basketball courts, exercise areas, study rooms, wellness spaces, and a reflection room. A six-level parking structure also makes it easier for students to access campus.

Bringing such different activities together creates an interesting design challenge. Each space serves a different purpose, but they all need to work together as one facility.

Reaveley Engineers worked with GSBS Architects, CannonDesign, and Jacobsen Construction on the project, contributing structural engineering expertise to a building designed around the many dimensions of student life.

What stands out about this project is the range of experiences it supports. It offers space for activity and competition, as well as reflection, connection, and a little breathing room between classes.

That's an important part of creating a campus where students can spend time, not just attend class.
