History of Excellence

The year was 1946. It was a post-war year and the start of a building boom. In Toronto, Canada, Carson Morrison, Charlie Hershfield, Joe Millman and Mark Huggins joined together to form Morrison Hershfield Millman and Huggins, a small firm offering civil, structural and mechanical engineering. In 1982, the company came to be known as Morrison Hershfield, the name we carry today.

Since its inception, the company has accumulated an impressive track record of award-winning projects and has systematically grown to over a thousand employees in offices across North America. Although there have been many transformations over the years, there are some things that have not changed… like our thirst for unique and challenging projects, our desire to expand into new and exciting marketplaces, the mentorship of passionate young engineers by their peers and our drive to be the best.

After over 70 years in business, Morrison Hershfield has so much to be proud of and a great deal to be thankful for. We are fortunate to have developed relationships with many outstanding clients over the years and privileged to have partnered with a myriad of exceptional firms on a wide range of projects.

We continue to be recognized for our award-winning projects, pioneering products, and staff who eagerly contribute and take on key roles with various professional organizations and committees, as well as within the community. We are leaders in the Green Building field and are committed to innovative and sustainable engineering practices.

Morrison Hershfield has long been a company of problem solvers and prides itself on a tradition of excellence. The real story of our history is the people who have dedicated themselves to the projects. And as we face the future, it is with confidence that we pledge to leave this firm stronger and better than it is today.
