Reaveley Engineers

Reaveley Engineers 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

For a lot of Idahoans, that's more than a football field. It's game days, time with family and friends, and traditions passed down across generations.

It raises a good question: why do certain places become part of a community's identity?

As engineers, we spend a lot of time thinking about how places serve people over time. The ones that stick with us aren't defined by the structure alone. They're shaped by what happens there.

Albertsons Stadium is one of those places. Every fall, students return to campus, alumni reconnect with old memories, and thousands gather around a tradition that's become uniquely Idaho.

Reaveley had the chance to contribute to the stadium's expansion. Looking back, what stands out isn't the project itself. It's the role the stadium still plays as a place where people come together.

The stiffness method treats joint displacements as unknowns, solving equilibrium equations to find them and then using those results to determine member forces and reactions. Unlike the flexibility method, it works equally well for determinate or indeterminate structures and automatically flags instability if a solution can't be found.

Originally a sports arena, the Salt Palace has evolved into a top-tier convention center, hosting major events such as the Winter Olympics and FanX.

The 1994 renovation added 616,000 square feet of space and featured a remarkable 180-foot column-free design. Expansions in 2001 and 2006 added another 433,000 square feet and multi-level parking garages.

Reaveley has been instrumental in its structural development for nearly forty years through all significant phases.

Edison House transforms a once-abandoned urban site into a three-story social venue designed to bring new energy to the community. Working with HKS Architects, Reaveley Engineers helped support a dynamic western faรงade with adjustable perforated metal screens, bi-folding panels, and lift-and-slide doors that respond to light, airflow, and weather while preserving the project's architectural vision.

In collaboration with Okland Construction, the faรงade was carefully coordinated and constructed to deliver long-term performance while creating a welcoming, adaptable experience for members and guests.

The Intermountain Health St George Regional Hospital Cancer Center & Campus Consolidation merges two campuses and expands the River Road facility. The three-story center combines cancer services and adds newborn, trauma, neurosurgery, cardiovascular, and women's care. With more beds, a new observation unit, and advanced imaging, the expanded facility offers family-focused care, keeping loved ones close.

The Gail Miller Homeless Resource Center is a modern facility for up to to 1,100 individuals. Developed through public and private partnerships, it offers comprehensive housing, medical care, education, and community support. All in a safe environment designed with input from local law enforcement and over 70 service providers.

Built on a steep, tightly constrained site, the new Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine required the team to navigate existing buildings, essential campus infrastructure, dramatic grade changes, and connections across multiple levels.

As structural engineers, Reaveley partnered with VCBO Architecture, Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign, and the broader project team to help bring that architectural vision to life. The result gives medical education a true home, bringing students, faculty, clinicians, and researchers together to learn, collaborate, and discover side by side.

A new article featuring Mehrdad Yazdani and Celestia Carson speaks on the challenges, design decisions, and opportunities that shaped the finished building, and its connection to the wider health sciences campus.

Davis County has transformed the 62,000-square-foot Legacy Events Center into the Western Sports Park, a modern athletic complex for youth sports.

The redevelopment includes a new 180,000-square-foot event building that features 2,700 fixed seats and additional space for 3,700 temporary seats.

The venue accommodates high school graduations and winter sports, such as volleyball, basketball, and wrestling. The outdoor improvements support sports like soccer, lacrosse, and Ultimate Frisbee.
