Wight & Company

We were proud to join Mundelein High School for their Second Annual Women in Construction Workshop & Panel this week! Thank you to @Mortenson Construction making this event a success.

We close out SEL week by giving special recognition to those who have the greatest in-school influence on student achievement — teachers. When teachers feel supported and emotionally grounded, they create calmer, more connected classrooms where students can thrive. #SELWeek

A restroom may not be the first space that comes to mind when thinking of spaces that support student wellbeing. However, a thoughtfully designed restroom can promote safety, dignity, and emotional comfort throughout the day. #SELWeek

Cafeterias are more than dining spaces. They’re social hubs where students build relationships, practice independence, and reset for the rest of the day. When thoughtfully designed, they can play a powerful role in supporting SEL. #SELweek

This Women in Construction Week, we celebrate the incredible women of Wight & Company who are helping redefine what’s possible in our industry. #WomenInConstruction #WICweek2026 #WomenInTrades #Wight

Outdoor spaces are powerful drivers of social emotional wellbeing. Time in nature helps students regulate emotions, reset their stress levels, and return to learning calmer and more focused. #SELWeek
