Change the World 2025
CannonDesign is one of the most prominent U.S. architecture and design firms that specialize in sustainable buildings—and after a handful of acquisitions since the beginning of 2024, it’s also one of the largest. Since its founding, the company has completed 312 projects that are LEED-certified, meeting the highest standards for energy efficiency, water use, and air quality, among other benchmarks; those include 34 buildings that are all-electric and 14 projects that are net-zero energy. CannonDesign’s recently opened ultra-green buildings include the University of Florida Student Health Care Center; a former munitions plant in the Denver Federal Center; and the Toronto headquarters of LinkedIn.
