Pam--

Typically in the design of curation facilities, an architectural firm  
will design the overall facility and will then subcontract to  
engineering firms to design the structural and environmental  
systems.  An engineering firm would not typically design the overall  
facility.  If you just need new environmental systems, however, you  
might contact an mechanical engineering firm.  Can you tell me a  
little more about your project?  I might then be able to steer you in  
the right direction.
