History

Founded in 1938 by Jack Corgan in Dallas, Texas, Corgan initially focused on designing movie theaters and drive-ins.[5][6] In the mid-20th century, the firm became known for its work on hotel along Route 66 and movie palaces in small towns such as Vernon, Texas, and Chickasha, Oklahoma.[7] During this period, Corgan designed over 90 movie theaters,[8] some of which have been preserved as historic landmarks.[9][10]

In 1956, Corgan was selected to design the Dallas Love Field Airport Terminal, which served as the primary airport for Dallas at the time. The terminal's design incorporated features such as a mezzanine dining room and moving walkways, which were considered advanced concept for that period.[7][11][12][13]

In 1979, the firm formalized its data center architecture practice,[14][15] and by 2018, it had completed more than 1,200 data centers worldwide.[16]

In 2025, Corgan acquired the Boston-based interior design firm Dyer Brown & Associates and the New York-based architecture and urban design firm Cooper Robertson.[17][18][19]

In early 2026, Corgan acquired the Washington, D.C.-based architecture firm FOX Architects.[20]
