For 18 years, part of the New York City team at national architecture firm Corgan has called the 54th floor of the Empire State Building home. But, after nearly two decades, even an office in a building as iconic as that one needs a good sprucing up. Corgan’s footprint in the Empire State Building went from 18,714 square feet to 26,035 square feet as part of the year of renovations — during which time the firm’s aviation, data center and corporate interiors teams temporarily relocated. “We wanted to tie ourselves to this place and be part of that Empire, and city spirit,” Capron said. The new and improved 54th floor of the Empire State Building also has a shop for 3D model printing and laser cutting, as well as a media room for employees and clients to utilize.
