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.
