History

Founded in 1938 by Jack Corgan in Dallas, Texas, the firm became better known after completing a series of hotels along Route 66 and movie palaces in small towns like Vernon, Texas, and Chickasha, Oklahoma, during the late 1930s to the 1950s. [8] In this period, Corgan designed and completed over 90 movie theaters, [9] some of which remain operational or have undergone adaptive reuse, serving as historic landmarks. [10] [11]

In 1956, Corgan was selected to design the Dallas Love Field Airport Terminal, which was the primary airport for Dallas at the time and Corgan's first major commercial project. Their plans for the terminal included features such as a mezzanine dining room and moving walkways for airline passengers, which were considered innovative concepts at the time. [8] [12] [13] [14]

In 1979, Corgan formalized its data center architecture practice. [15] [16] As of 2018, Corgan has completed more than 1,200 data centers for technology and telecommunications companies globally. [17] The firm's annual revenue from data center architecture ranked top in the nation in 2023 amongst the top architecture and engineering firms in the U.S. data center sector. [18]

Since early 2010s, Corgan has established multiple new office locations. As of mid-2024, the firm employed over 1000 professionals across 18 offices. [8]
