After eight years as president and CEO, Bob Morris will become chairman of the board at Dallas-based architecture and design firm Corgan.
Scott Ruch will become the firm’s new CEO, joined by Lindsay Wilson and Steve Hulsey who will serve as presidents in addition to their current roles as sector leaders of the Interiors and Education studios, respectively.
The announcement is a culmination of a three-year strategy that responds to Corgan’s accelerated and anticipated growth as one of the nation’s top five architecture and design firms.
“It’s a natural extension of Corgan’s goal to tap into our diverse strengths and experiences and our culture of growing leaders,” said Ruch. “We’ve worked together in this capacity for several years in Executive Committee and seen the firm nearly double in size, open new offices, and expand our practices to better serve a strong portfolio of clients. We love what we do and we love working together—I know this kind of energy is contagious and I’m excited for what Corgan’s future holds.
Ruch joined Corgan in 1989, and was promoted to executive managing principal in 2016. As a founder of Corgan’s Critical Facilities Architecture Group, Scott has been involved in the design of more than 35 significant data center projects, encompassing over 5 million square feet. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University, with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
Hulsey joined Corgan in 1989 after graduating from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Architecture degree. He specializes in educational facilities projects and has led the Education Studio since 2001.
Wilson is the Interiors Sector Leader. She specializes in developing the program and vision for projects and in evaluating real estate opportunities from a design perspective. She is a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design and was named Executive Managing Principal in 2016.
“The practice of architecture is changing, and we’re committed to being incredibly agile in the ways we respond to our clients as well as fully invested in the growth and development of our employees,” said Wilson.
