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 the CannonDesign one of the 10 most innovative architecture firms in the world.[2]

History

Will Cannon, Sr. started an architecture practice in Niagara Falls, New York in the early 20th century. His best-known work from this period was the design of the Beaux-Arts style Niagara Falls City Hall in 1923. The firm Cannon Design was established in 1945 by Cannon and his sons, Will, Jr. and Don.[3][4]

Design approach

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.[5]

Recent activities

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. [6]

In 2019, CannonDesign formed a strategic partnership with ModularDesign+, a modular design and prefabrication firm with a 100,000-SF warehouse in Euless, Texas. [7]

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

In 2017, Denver-based Bennett Wagner Grody Architects joined CannonDesign. [10]

In late 2014, CannonDesign acquired Pittsburgh firm Astorino Co. The deal allowed CannonDesign to expand its footprint into Pittsburgh. [11]
