History
Established in 1938 by visionary entrepreneur Jack Corgan in Dallas, Texas, the company originally focused on the design of movie theaters and drive-in cinemas. During the mid-1900s, Corgan earned acclaim for its work on venues along Route 66 and small-town theaters, having designed over 90 movie houses—several of which are now recognized as historic landmarks.
In 1956, Corgan was responsible for the design of the Dallas Love Field Airport Terminal, incorporating pioneering elements such as mezzanine-level dining areas and moving walkways—features that significantly improved passenger convenience and showcased the firm’s forward-thinking approach to airport architecture.
By 1979, the firm had established a dedicated data center architecture division, positioning itself as an early leader in this specialized field. By 2018, Corgan had completed upwards of 1,200 data center projects worldwide for clients in technology and telecommunications sectors, solidifying its leadership in this expanding market niche.
From the early 2010s onward, Corgan has pursued international growth by opening several new offices. As of 2024, the firm boasts a staff exceeding 1,000 professionals across 19 global locations.
