MRB Group

MRB Group is an engineering, architecture, and municipal planning firm headquartered at 145 Culver Road in Rochester, NY. Founded in 1927 as a civil surveying and sanitary engineering practice, the firm has operated in the Greater Rochester area for nearly a century, serving both municipal and private-sector clients across Central New York and the Finger Lakes region. Today, MRB Group maintains nine offices spanning New York, Texas, and South Carolina, though its Rochester headquarters remains the central hub of operations.

MRB Group provides professional services across a broad range of disciplines:

• Civil and structural engineering
• Architecture and site development
• Community planning and master plan studies
• GIS and mapping services
• Economic development consulting
• Grant writing and administration
• Code revision, compliance, and SEQR review
• Municipal efficiency initiatives and local government services

The firm works across multiple sectors, including municipal and civic projects, education, healthcare, life sciences, commercial and industrial development, multi-family housing, and hospitality. Recent project work includes the Newark Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Webster Highway Garage, the Mendon Public Library, and the Brighton Volunteer Ambulance facility — all within the greater Rochester region.

MRB Group has built its reputation on long-standing municipal partnerships and infrastructure work across upstate New York. The firm has been recognized as a Top 100 Company by the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce each year from 2019 through 2024 and has received Engineering Excellence Awards from ACEC New York. In 2025, the American Public Works Association's New York Chapter awarded MRB Group its Project of the Year in the Environmental category. The company also runs a Municipal Bootcamp educational program aimed at supporting local government professionals.

MRB Group's Rochester headquarters occupies Suite 160 inside the Culver Road Armory, a historic Rochester landmark at 145 Culver Road that has been redeveloped into a mixed-use destination. The Armory building sits near the Park Avenue neighborhood and houses a mix of dining, retail, fitness, and professional office tenants, including restaurants, home furnishing shops, and other service firms. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The location is easily accessible by car, and visitors can reach the office via the main Culver Road entrance.
