SSOE Announces New Rankings from ENR Magazine

April 18, 2007 – ENR Magazine today published its annual rankings of the Top 500 Design Firms. In a market in which the collective Top 500’s revenue grew 17.5 percent over that of 2005, SSOE still improved its ranking in each category. These improvements are due to a 30 percent increase in revenue in 2006, SSOE’s third straight year of 15 percent-plus growth. SSOE is currently projecting 20 percent growth in its 2007 revenue over 2006.

SSOE’s rankings were as follows:

#77 – Pure Designers (up from 99 in 2006)
