Corgan's origins can be traced back to a focus on movie theaters and drive-ins in its early years,^[5][6] the firm has since diversified its portfolio, providing architectural services in aviation, commercial, data centers, education, healthcare, mixed-use, multifamily, offices, and workplaces.^[7]

Founded in 1938 by Jack Corgan in Dallas, Texas, the firm was originally known for designing 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] With the growth of the data center industry since the dot-com boom, Corgan has capitalized on this industry trend. 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 consistently ranks among the top in the nation.^[18]

Since early 2010s, Corgan has experienced substantial growth and established multiple new office locations. In 2014, the firm employed approximately 400 professionals across 7 offices,^[8] a number that has expanded to over 900 across 16 offices as of 2023.

Corgan operates in major metropolitan areas across the world. In addition to its headquarters in Dallas, the firm maintains offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Phoenix, Atlanta, Orlando, Austin, San Antonio, Frisco, and Amarillo. Internationally, Corgan has established offices in London, Singapore, and Dublin.^[1]
