Cooper Robertson was founded in 1979, by Alex Cooper under the name Alexander Cooper and Associates. Both Cooper and Robertson attended Yale College during the same period, later working together at the New York City Department of City Planning. The firm changed its name to Cooper, Robertson & Partners when Robertson joined in 1988. In 2015, they rebranded again to "Cooper Robertson".[1]
