Corgan, a leading global architecture and design firm, has welcomed WCGS Architects, a respected Albany, New York-based architecture practice to the firm.

The strategic addition of WCGS expands Corgan's presence across the Northeast and strengthens its capabilities particularly in mission critical and higher education.

Corgan, which works across aviation and transportation, data centers, education, government, health, hospitality and retail, mixed-use, multifamily, office, and workplace, has an established presence in the state and the East Coast with offices in New York City as well as Boston and Washington, D.C.

“WCGS Architects has built an exceptional practice and earned the trust of clients throughout the region. Their expertise and relationships complement our existing strengths, and together, we're better positioned to serve clients, pursue new opportunities, and continue growing across the Northeast,” said Scott Ruch, Chief Executive Officer at Corgan.

Founded in 1981, WCGS Architects has evolved from its development roots into a multidisciplinary design practice recognized statewide for excellence in architecture. The firm's portfolio spans a broad range of project types, including corporate, institutional, mission critical, workplace, and large-scale commercial developments, serving clients in New York and throughout the East Coast, Canada, and Caribbean.

Corgan is ranked the No. 4 firm in the U.S. by Architectural Record and Building Design+Construction. Joining Corgan provides the WCGS team with access to a platform that includes advanced research capabilities, expanded technical resources, specialized practice areas, and a diverse international portfolio.

The integration will enhance the combined firm's ability to deliver innovative solutions for increasingly complex client challenges while preserving the personalized service and responsiveness that have defined WCGS.

“For more than 40 years, our success has been rooted in the trust we've built with clients and partners as well as the dedication of our people,” said Pete Gillies, Managing Principal at WCGS Architects. “Joining Corgan allows us to build on that foundation while positioning our team for the future. We're excited to be part of an organization that shares our commitment to client service, technical expertise, and lasting relationships.”

The combination of WCGS and Corgan brings expanded expertise, stronger regional relationships, and a shared vision for delivering design solutions that shape the future of the built environment.
