Managing Principal Stanton Stafford Awarded Top 40 under 40!

Atlanta, GA (February 2016): Integral Engineering Group Managing Principal, Stanton Stafford has been recognized as 2015’s Top 40 Under 40 by the Atlanta Business Chronicle for both his professional achievements as well as his ongoing contributions to the community. With over 600+ nominees, the Chronicle had the challenging task of narrowing the list down to the top 40 business leaders who are stewards in their respective industries and have made significant strides positively impacting society.

“Integral is extremely proud of Stanton,” notes CEO and Founder, Kevin Hydes, PE, P.Eng, C.Eng, RAIC (hon), FCIBSE, LEED Fellow. “This honor is well deserved and a clear reflection how respected Stanton is within the community for his dedication and commitment to improving the built environment,” continued Kevin.

A native of Atlanta and an exemplary engineer, Stanton Stafford leads the Atlanta Studio where his focus on sustainable design has led to improved mechanical systems and operations. His initiatives include energy efficient projects for STEM facilities at major institutions in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US.

After hours, Stanton continues to cultivate his passion for the community development and environmental responsibility through his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Lifecycle Building Centre of Greater Atlanta. The purpose of the LBC is to interject unused building materials from going into waste and redistribute those materials back into use for the community.

Stanton’s leadership has helped grow the endeavor from modest initiatives into what it is today. Stanton explains the LBC has “grown from two staff, six board members and a $100,000 annual budget to eight staff, 11 board members … [to] 20 advisory board members and a $600,000 annual budget.”
