Our Story
60 Years Strong:
Celebrating Yesterday and Crafting Tomorrow
Legat Architects was founded in 1964 in a Waukegan, Illinois home and then moved into a renovated church in the same city. Over the decades, we expanded our reach, opened additional studios across the Midwest, and tackled high-profile design projects. Today, our portfolio spans over 30 countries, yet we remain committed to the communities where we live and work.
What fuels our passion for design is the desire to enhance the lives of those who use our buildings … whether it’s a special education student finding their way, a fitness enthusiast striving for peak performance, a healthcare patient seeking comfort, or a commuter rushing through their day.
Our greatest joy comes from crafting environments that our clients and employees can look upon with pride and feel inspired by. As we reflect on the past six decades of design excellence, client service, and professional development, we want to acknowledge each of our employees: you comprise the spirit of Legat Architects, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
