Joe Gibbons, a project manager at SWBR Architects, has recently received his Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, offered through the U.S. Green Building Council. This certification recognizes those who have completed the necessary training, education and testing to apply green architecture standards to their designs. "We're thrilled for Joe and proud of his accomplishment in obtaining his LEED certification. LEED principles are an everyday part of our firm's designs and he truly stands behind what we believe in as a company," said David Beinetti, president of SWBR. Gibbons received his Bachelor of Architecture from the City College of New York and has been with SWBR since 1998.
