When Wells Fargo moved its offices to Las Colinas, it had a specific goal in mind—for its building to achieve LEED Platinum and be net zero. In this episode, Nate DeVore, Vice President of Corgan’s Commercial Studio, gives us an inside look at how Wells Fargo teamed up with Corgan to plan and design the first net-positive corporate campus ever built in the U.S.
Comprised of two office towers totaling 800,000+ square feet along with a 4,000-square foot parking garage, Corgan collected empirical research, ran energy models, and analyzed data to calculate how the building could reach 5% above net zero by reducing energy usage intensity (EUI) per year—designing a building that produced more energy on-site than it consumes. Discover how Corgan incorporated innovative energy initiatives, including solar panels, electricity, efficient equipment, sustainable building materials, natural sunlight, and self-tinting windows to reduce carbon emissions and reach a net positive. Join us to learn about sustainable design and how corporations are finding new ways to protect our environment.

In celebration of National Women’s Month, Corgan’s Human Resources Director Halima McWilliams sat down with Wanda Dalla Costa, the first woman architect in First Nations in Canada, a professor at Arizona State, and Founding Director of the Tawaw Architecture Collective. In this inspiring conversation, Wanda takes us on what began as a six-month backpacking trip to Australia and turned into a seven-year journey, exploring indigenous cultures, urban environments, and buildings on seven continents around the world.
Passionate about how place-based design and connecting with nature is required for humans to thrive, Wanda feels designers should understand and align with the beliefs of indigenous tribes, giving them special agency over their environment to preserve their lifestyle, history, and culture. Join us and learn how collective creative intelligence and stewardship of the natural world can shape architecture and design in this episode of The Square.
