History
Prior to organizing Lu Engineers in 1980, Joseph C. Lu spent more than a decade developing the necessary engineering and business skills to manage his newly formed company. Throughout the 1980's the firm grew steadily, adding new skills and disciplines with each new person hired.
The company grew from three employees in a modest downtown Rochester NY office, to the 40 plus engineers, geologists, environmental specialists, surveyors, technicians, and administrative staff currently employed.
Milestones
- In 1980 Joseph C. Lu founded Lu Engineers in downtown Rochester, NY.
- In 1986 Lu Engineers moved to Penfield, NY doubling the size of the office to accommodate a larger workforce and more equipment.
- In February 1996 the firm assimilated the engineering staff from the Rochester office of a large, nationally known engineering firm adding experience and expertise in airport and city street design and inspection.
- After Joseph C. Lu retired in 2007 the Board of Directors named Robert W. Hutteman, PE as President.

- In 2010, the firm once again grew out of its' office and moved to a larger, more professional building located in Pittsford, NY where the firm is located today.
