After a lengthy search, EYP was ranked among the top 50 design firms in the nation by Architect magazine in its first annual ranking of top U.S.design firms. The Architect 50 ranking is unique because, rather than focusing on simplistic factors such as size, as many rankings do, this survey analyzed three critical factors for success: profitability, sustainability, and design quality, resulting in a more meaningful analysis of a firm's health and competitive edge. The top 50 firms were then ranked within the three success categories and EYP garnered another mention by pulling a sixth-place ranking for its sustainability practices.
