FOUNDATION

Corgan was conceived to anticipate emerging client needs and to respond quickly and powerfully. We've developed that agility over eight decades of continuous invention and innovation. We navigate the changes in our client’s industries and respond with new forms, spaces, and solutions. Our founders, Jack Corgan and his son and successor, C. Jack, were born innovators who left an indelible imprint. Their commitment to above-and-beyond service and client success is part of their legacy and the foundation on which we’ve built our international network of offices today.
