Albert Kahn Associates Celebrates 125 Years of Design and Engineering

DETROIT, MI — 125 years and 45,000 projects later, Albert Kahn Associates, Inc., is still designing and engineering facilities today. Founded as one of the first integrated architecture and engineering firms, Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. is celebrating its 125th anniversary.

From its headquarters in Detroit, Kahn has designed and engineered projects worldwide. From industrial and automotive facilities, research and testing spaces, university and educational buildings, hospitals and health care spaces, corporate office campuses, to urban waterfront and development projects, among others, the team at Kahn has done it all.

“Our overarching goal for the future is to provide the highest quality service, guided by the Kahn Values — Integrity, Professionalism, Respect, Pride, and Passion,” said Alan Cobb, FAIA, current President and CEO of Kahn.

Kahn launched its anniversary celebration with a new Albert Kahn interactive map that allows users to create personalized tours of Kahn buildings in Detroit and around the globe. The celebration of the firm is about Kahn's clients, employees, and the communities the company engages with every day. Kahn has relationships that stretch almost the entire history of the firm, some over 110 years. Many Kahn employees have committed their careers to the firm — several celebrating 40 to 50 years.

“Our tremendous people bring innovation to every project,” Cobb said. “The Kahn Brand sets the standard for the A/E marketplace. Our legacy is about quality, focusing on speed to market because our design teams understand that time is money for our clients.”

In Detroit, Kahn plans on expanding its work across multiple campuses with Henry Ford Health Systems, continuing to infuse new life along the Detroit Riverfront, and continuing renovations on the Detroit Opera House. Another project gaining traction is the upcoming renovation of the historic Detroit Creamery Building for Olympia Development, which also happens to be an original Albert Kahn building.

Beyond Detroit, Kahn has several projects, such as the new headquarters expansion and new office buildings for Erie Insurance and a redevelopment in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania. Combining new mixed-use structures with the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, Kahn’s work with the Erie Downtown Development Corporation will provide a strategy for future city development.

For 125 years, Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. has committed to designing and engineering facilities that surpass the needs of its clients around the world. Guided by the legacy of the company's founder Albert Kahn and a passion for architecture and engineering, Kahn has over 45,000 projects around the world. Kahn’s expertise starts with architecture, engineering, interior design, program management, and master planning, and spans through commissioning, business and management needs, strategic facilities planning, value and sustainability analysis.

Recent projects include Ford Motor Company Driving Dynamics Lab in Dearborn, Michigan; the Volvo Car Office, Welcome Center, and Manufacturing Plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina; Vinfast Automotive Manufacturing Facility in Hai Phong, Vietnam; New Headquarters and Distribution Center for Berkshire e-Supply in Novi, Michigan; Erie Insurance Corporate Headquarters in Erie, Pennsylvania; Oakland University’s President’s Office and Wilson Hall Renovation in Rochester, Michigan; numerous projects for Henry Ford Health Systems and Trinity Healthcare; and Polk Penguin Conservation Center at the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, Michigan.
