For years, Perkins+Will has successfully designed structures that achieve our clients’ vision while simultaneously maintaining the company's founding principles of sustainability, integrity, and design excellence. Sustainable design has never been more important than it is today. As the building industry is realizing the benefits of sustainable design, more and more of our clients are increasing the demand for healthier and better-performing buildings.

Larry Perkins understood the value of the environment at a young age. When he was 12 years old, Larry looked on as his father acquired and dedicated the first ever parcel of the Forest Preserve System in what is now known as Deer Grove in Cook County, Illinois. Larry defined his father’s vision as one of achieving spaces "of green intervals and people enjoying it."

Larry Perkins and Phil Will made a commitment to the advancement of design in 1935 with the founding of Perkins+Will. After 70 years of success, we remain devoted to the well-being of our clients and the environment in which they live while continuing to lead the industry towards a sustainable future.
