Our History
Southern A&E’s roots go back to 1970 when Roy L. Denney Jr. founded Denney Associates in Carrollton, Georgia. Over the next decade, Mr. Denney expanded his repertoire to include master planning and commercial and educational design projects. During the ’70s and early ’80s, Denney Associates built a strong presence in the design of educational facilities in Georgia.
In 1983, Denney Associates joined Southern Engineering Company. Through the acquisition, the company began offering in-house engineering services.
In September 1998, the two principal architects, Roy Denney, Jr. and Ernest Varney, purchased Southern Engineering’s architecture and engineering business to form Southern A&E, LLC, an employee-owned company. Since then, the company has established itself as a leader in the design of facilities in the state of Georgia.
