Independence area high schoolers gained valuable insight into the many career opportunities available in the Construction Trades. Cornell’s Bob Hoover, Repair and Maintenance Manager and Victor Speers, Assistant Project Manager took part in Turner Construction & Building Trades (C&BT) Expo held at Wyandotte High School.
The Independence School District’s Freshman Academy introduced students from Truman, Van Horn and William Chrisman high schools to five academies focused on helping freshman build a solid academic foundation as they start their individual paths towards higher education or a career in a trade represented by the Industrial Technology Academy. These five Academies represented pathways with Capstones featuring a variety of potential directions for these young people to explore during their high school years. The Industrial Technology Academy featured the largest number of Capstones with nine areas including the Construction Trades. Students are trained through a combination of high school and trade classes. College courses and internships were also highlighted.
In an era of spiraling college debt, Cornell remains committed to doing its part to help spread the word that a career in roofing or sheet metal can be a rewarding and fulfilling choice.

This poem says a lot about the construction world. If you are at work, play or home today it was a team of tradesmen and women in construction that built where you’re working, playing or you are comfortably resting. Homes, Offices, Schools, Hospitals, Airports, Highways etc.
Share if you enjoy Eric’s rendition.
All of us at Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween. May it be filled with pumpkins, smiling children and enough candy so we all get to binge out when the clock strikes 12. Hopefully, a lot sooner!!!
Currently Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal is working over St. Luke’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We are working with JE Dunn on this project and my men and women on this job understand the sensitivity of the site we are working over.
We are working with extreme caution to create as little noise and to minimize any and all distress we may cause these parents of our tiniest little fighters. We have laid down extra materials at our own cost so there is no migration of smell.
The job is a “silent”, meaning only talk when necessary. Extra hand wringing is practiced in the event of rain. If it is raining 100 miles away we are taking ZERO risks to avoid accidently creating a leak.
I just want to thank all of our men and women on this job. We are working at such a special part of the hospital. Your extra care and concern is greatly appreciated.It was sunny out on September 25th, but rain was predicted and we stayed away. We want to also thank JE Dunn for understanding our extra weather precautions. Mary McNamara
