Will Cannon, Sr. started his architecture practice in [[Niagara Falls, New York]] in 1915. His best-known work from this period was the [[Beaux-Arts style]] [[Niagara Falls City Hall]] in 1923. When his sons, Will Jr. and Don, revealed natural talents in architecture and engineering, the trio formed a family business in 1945 that would grow from its humble roots into one of the leading design practices in the world.<ref>https://www.cannondesign.com/our-history/</ref>

CannonDesign employs a design approach it created called Living-Centered Design. The approach addresses the complex interdependencies that exist between people, businesses, communities, society and the environment. Inspired by the best attributes of [[human-centered design]], [[systems thinking]] and traditional architectural and engineering processes, Living-Centered Design solves challenges through the lens of the broader ecosystems they exist within—helping organizations and communities realize more impactful, systemic change.<ref>https://www.cannondesign.com/livingcentereddesign/</ref>

CannonDesign is a global architecture, engineering and consulting practice that provides services for a range of project types, including hospitals and medical centers, corporate headquarters and commercial office buildings, higher education and PK-12 education facilities, hotels and hospitality, mixed-use, sports facilities, and science and research buildings. Brad Lukanic has been the CEO of the employee-owned firm since 2015.[1] In 2017 and 2019, Fast Company named CannonDesign one of the 10 most innovative architecture firms in the world.[2]

History

[edit]
Niagara Falls City Hall

Will Cannon, Sr. started his architecture practice in Niagara Falls, New York, in 1915. His best-known work from this period was the Beaux-Arts style Niagara Falls City Hall in 1923. When his sons, Will Jr. and Don, revealed natural talents in architecture and engineering, the trio formed a family business in 1945 that would grow from its humble roots into one of the leading design practices in the world.[3]

Acquisitions

[edit]

In 2009, the company acquired O'Donnell Wicklund Pigozzi & Peterson (OWP/P), a Chicago-based architecture firm.[4]

In late 2014, CannonDesign acquired Pittsburgh firm Astorino Co. The deal allowed CannonDesign to expand its footprint into Pittsburgh.[5]

In 2017, CannonDesign announced it was merging its global practice with FKP Architects, a Houston-based architecture firm with 90 employees.[6] Denver-based Bennett Wagner Grody Architects also joined CannonDesign.[7]

In 2018, gkkworks, an architectural and construction practice with a significant presence in Southern California and Denver, Colorado, joined CannonDesign.[8]

In 2019, Blue Cottage Consulting merged with CannonDesign. The merger strengthened CannonDesign's consulting and planning capabilities within the healthcare, education and workplace sectors. Juliet Rogers assumed the role as President of the company.[9] CannonDesign formed a strategic partnership with ModularDesign+, a modular design and prefabrication firm with a 100,000-SF warehouse in Euless, Texas.[10]

In 2024, SRG Partnership, an architecture, interiors and planning firm with studios in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, has joined CannonDesign.[2] Going forward, SRG Partnership will be known as SRG + CannonDesign. With the addition of SRG’s Portland and Seattle studios, CannonDesign has expanded to 18 offices and nearly 1,300 teammates across North America and India.

Controversies

[edit]

In August 2016, CannonDesign reached an agreement with the Justice Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay a $12 million settlement after it admitted to criminal conduct kickback scheme. Prior to the settlement, the former director of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center hospital and later the VA hospital in Dayton, Ohio, William Montague, was sentenced to prison for his role in giving insider information to contractors in exchange for money. CannonDesign executive Mark Farmer was also sentenced to prison for his involvement in the scheme.[11][12]
