While the recession has brought pink slips at many design firms, Corgan Associates of Dallas says it has not laid off a single employee. While the firm has diversified by geography and market niches, it is still honing its reputation as a global leader in aviation and data center markets.
“We have grown organically, and it has carried us through this recession because of an ability to find work in some markets that were sustained and a little more recession-proof and the flexibility of our staff to move to those projects,” says Bob Morris, Corgan president and CEO.
