Our Promise

At Corgan, the best thing we build is each other. Here, you’ll find camaraderie and collaboration as abundantly as curiosity and creativity. You’ll work with a team that cares about each other as much as we care about our work. You’ll find room to grow, freedom to explore, a stage to be seen — and the safety to fail. We’re high design but low ego. Stable as a business, but agile as a practice. Globally present, but personally connected. A firm not everyone has heard of, but one that everyone will. In so many respects, we’re the best of both worlds. And that has everything to do with the worlds we’re focused on building — environments where our clients and users thrive, and a place where our people can do the same.

Projects That Challenge. Impact That Rewards.

Our clients come to us to solve their most creative, technical, and ambitious design challenges. Our people come to work here for the exact same reasons. From globally visible projects to incredible local designs, every sector is a sandbox to create impactful and fulfilling work for clients, users, and communities. And whether you’re an architect, a designer, or staff that makes everything we do possible, it’s a safe bet that you’ll stretch your skills and earn some recognition in the process. Because we’re always evolving and imagining a better way forward.

EXTRAORDINARY SUPPORT

Our Support Is Your Springboard.

Leaders with open doors, countless opportunities to develop professionally, resources to make your work stronger — we have it all, and then some. But at Corgan, support is about much more than access to people and resources. For us, it’s about making an active, personal investment in each other — as mentors, as peers, but more fundamentally, as friends and collaborators who are united by a shared ambition. We don’t just win, we win together. And we do it by building each other up as we go. It’s one of the biggest reasons that over 90% of our staff would recommend Corgan to someone they know.

ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS

Create Something that Lasts.

The best designs endure the test of time. The same is true of relationships and employers. We owe much of our success to the fact that many people choose to spend their entire careers at Corgan, and many others have been with us for 5, 15, or 25+ years. The relationships we build are catalysts for the projects we design, the kind of firm we cultivate, and friendships that often grow beyond the workplace. The same is true of our clients — over 95% are companies we’ve worked with before, and some of our relationships are decades old.

Agents of Change.

We not only anticipate and respond to change in the world, we create it. From the spaces we design for our clients, to the impact we create for communities, to the culture we foster in our studios, and the progress we promote in our industry — we make the world we want to live in. One that’s more human, diverse, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable. That ambition lives in our people and in our places. It lives in a willingness to self-reflect, to champion important causes, to speak and act on our values, and to constantly push ourselves to imagine things that are totally new — both in our work and in the way that we work. It means embracing the idea that we’re never finished, but we’re always better than we were before.

CAREER AGILITY

Agility Means Opportunity.

As a firm, we promise Agility in Design — the responsiveness, flexibility, foresight, and expertise that allows our clients to navigate an evolving and increasingly challenging world. The better we understand and solve for our clients’ needs, the more we grow. And we’ve been growing a lot. Simply put, our agility unlocks new opportunities in your career. From new openings to new roles to new departments and employee ownership, your prospects are as strong as your initiative.

Culture as Currency. Paid in Full.

Work is where we spend a big part of our lives, and that’s why culture is the currency of day-to-day experiences. At Corgan, we foster a culture that’s as strong as our design. Our people are friendly and welcoming, endlessly curious, exceptionally collaborative, and remarkably talented. We build genuine connections across project teams, studios, offices, and our entire firm. And it happens in spaces we’ve designed to facilitate it all. Who we are is a huge part of what we do. While we’re serious about our work, our environment is lighthearted, transparent, and fun. INTENTIONAL CULTURE

Market Expertise

With expertise across multiple market sectors, we have the depth of resources to give our best every time, and the experts to guide our clients. Each sector brings unique strengths to the table and a shared passion for user-driven design and the human experience.

Aviation & Mobility

Move passengers and the world forward.

People depend on your organization to get them to the next stop on their journey. At Corgan, our clients depend on us to do the same. Whether it’s imagining the future of urban mobility, designing beautifully imagined airport terminals, creating experience-changing premium lounges, envisioning the future of commercial spaceports, or streamlining operations, aviation and mobility are a huge part of who we are.

As an international aviation leader, our firm has over 75+ years of experience and over 250+ marketdedicated professionals. We have the vision, planning, and technical ability to help get you — and your passengers — where you need to go.

Aviation Architect

Commercial

It starts with why.

Like commercial real estate, design must yield a return. We start each project by asking not what, how or how much, but by asking why. And in the new work-from-anywhere paradigm, the answers are changing quickly.

By putting our clients, and their why, at the center of every decision we make, Corgan designs don’t just achieve goals, they build meaningful value — especially when it comes to creating flexible, adaptive spaces. We approach each opportunity as engaged, open-minded collaborators focused on giving you creative, metric-driven design. We know when and where to spend, and, more importantly, when not to spend — allowing you to maximize opportunity and minimize risk and inefficiencies.

Data Centers

Responsive collaboration is the path to partnership.

We’re proud to be a leading data center architect in the United States. Our practice is designed around what we call “the speed of trust” — being responsive to our clients’ needs while providing a collaborative process for solution-finding. Since 1979, Corgan has led the industry with high-performance designs and first-to-market innovations. That’s because we understand the intricate details of data center design, and it’s made us trusted advisors to many of the world’s top companies. With more than 250 data center team members, we have the bench strength and the skill to help our clients scale their capacity with speed and confidence.

Education

Design that embraces change.

Education Designer

Old paradigms have shifted. The demand for innovative teaching environments reveals both great challenges and opportunities. At Corgan, we create adaptive, inspiring spaces that ignite young minds, foster community, and supercharge school spirit. From bond planning to architecture to interior design and everything in between, we’re with you every step of the way — and always thinking about what the future might bring. Our work is based on evidence, experiential research, and hard data, helping us to understand the needs of students and faculty so we can design schools that better support their work and studies.

Government

Planning with purpose.

With decades of experience partnering with federal and local government agencies, our government practice focuses on creating spaces where clients can thrive. By drawing on expertise across our market sectors, we approach each project with agility and thoughtful planning—designing environments that meet today’s needs while preparing for the changes of tomorrow. Our team is committed to understanding the unique demands of each agency and delivering spaces that truly support their mission and the people they serve.

Healthcare

Empathy and ingenuity.

Every design decision matters. That’s even more true in critical healthcare environments. Each aspect of the campus, structures, and interiors must maximize performance, minimize risk, and enhance the experience of caregivers, patients, and families. To us, that’s not just a job, it’s a calling. We have the expertise — and just as importantly, the empathy — to create designs that manifest better outcomes. Across our healthcare portfolio, we’ve made an impact on the lives of over eight million patients. From major academic medical centers to behavioral health, labs, ambulatory surgery centers and medical office buildings, Corgan creates elegant, forward-looking spaces and master plans that improve outcomes, deftly respond to periodic change, and elevate the experience of each and every user.

Multifamily

Unfolding a feeling.

We see multifamily developments not just as incredible places to live, but as experiences that unfold in the buyer’s mind: from approaching the building and entering the space for the first time, to enriching everyday life for families, to a mixed-use typology that helps residents get what they need and connect with an elevated community.

Our team designs bespoke multifamily properties that are inspired by their locations, differentiated from competing developments, and alluring to the right customers.

Workplace Interiors

Rewrite the rules.

Interior Designer

Interior Design Giants

When it’s designed well, a workplace is so many things at once: the embodiment of an organization, an epicenter of culture, a second home, an invitation to guests and potential hires, a catalyst for productivity, a reminder of what people can do when they come together — the list goes on, and so do the considerations. Our workplace team, informed by extensive expertise and a full spectrum of specialists, draws on research, empathy, and foresight to create environments that work as thoughtfully as your people do. Together, we create a place not just to work, but to be and become; a place where health and happiness inform decisions as much as operations and org charts. At Corgan, we design to tell a story that connects people to each other and to their space.

Resources to Make Your Work the Very Best

At Corgan, we value agility in problem solving. We listen to understand, evaluate, and challenge research, and are attuned to all that’s going on in the world. Using our integrated project services model, we give designers and architects the tools and resources inhouse to bring their very best to every project. Our teams are comprised of designers, researchers, and experts in trends, communication, and strategy. Together, we imagine a better way forward.
