Take Your Kids To Work Day 2022 At Coakley & Williams Construction

For National Take Your Kids to Work Day, Coakley & Williams Construction (CWC) kids were invited to learn how we build the DMV. Our Human Resources team planned a fun-filled day for the kids, including meeting the team, an OpenSpace technology scavenger hunt, a Rube Goldberg project, and a construction site tour of our ongoing project, The Langley School’s new Crossroads Building in Mclean, VA.

“One of the dads gave a speech about a Coakley & Williams Construction site. Then all the kids got onto a bus to go to a construction site. We got to see a school being built. I can't wait for next year's Take Your Kids to Work Day! It was so much fun!”
