History

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

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]

Controversies

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]
