About Coger/Shambarger.

For over four decades, right here in Toledo, Ohio – the Glass City – the name Coger/Shambarger Architect has become a familiar part of our city’s story, etched in its history and reaching for the sky. More than just a business, we’re a team deeply connected to this community, driven by a real love for what we do and a belief in the power of thoughtful design.

It all started over 40 years ago with a simple idea: to create spaces that truly belonged, that felt right within their surroundings and stood the test of time. For us, a blueprint isn’t just lines on paper; it’s the beginning of a place where life happens, where businesses grow, and where communities connect.

We see architecture as more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a form of art, a reflection of who we are as a society, and a chance to shape a better future. Every building we design has a story to tell – the story of a company’s ambition, a community’s spirit, or an individual’s dream taking shape. Our guiding principles are simple: a relentless pursuit of quality, a drive to innovate, and a deep respect for our planet. We’re proud to blend Toledo’s rich heritage with fresh, modern ideas, making sure every project, big or small, feels both familiar and forward-thinking.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working on a diverse range of commercial projects that form the backbone of Toledo’s economy – from sleek, contemporary offices to the practical, efficient warehouses that keep things moving. What ties them all together is our unwavering attention to the details that matter, a focus on how the space will actually be used, and a design aesthetic that feels both current and timeless.

But what truly makes Coger/Shambarger Architect special is our people. We’re a close-knit team of passionate architects, imaginative designers, and skilled planners, each bringing their own unique talents and perspectives to the table. It’s this blend of skills and our shared commitment to excellence that pushes us to constantly learn, explore new ideas, and elevate our designs.

When we work with clients, it’s a true partnership. We listen deeply because we know that every client comes to us with a specific vision, a unique set of needs. Our job is to take that vision and bring it to life, creating a space that not only meets their practical requirements but also reflects their aspirations. With over 45 years of experience under our belts, we’ve learned how to combine innovative thinking with real-world solutions.

As proud members of the Toledo community, our commitment extends beyond the buildings we create. We’re invested in the future of our city and actively seek opportunities to contribute to its growth, its culture, and the well-being of its people.

Thank you for considering Coger/Shambarger Architect. We’re excited about the possibility of working alongside you to craft meaningful landmarks, nurture your vision, and build a brighter future, together.
