Major Industries Is Recognized By CEFPI For Improving School Learning Environments
The Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) has recognized Major Industries for excellence in significantly enhancing school learning environments nationwide.
Major Industries was chosen for its innovations in daylighting systems that have substantially improved the educational environments at the following schools: Briscoe Junior High School and Foster High School, Richmond, Texas; Pin Oak Middle School, Bellaire, Texas; and Walkonda Elementary School, Omaha, Nebraska.
According to Wayne Toenjes, President of Major Industries, students are the key beneficiaries anytime his company has the opportunity to provide daylighting systems for a school. "Research studies consistently show that daylight contributes to a better learning environment and that it even helps improve students’ test scores," Toenjes says. "At Major Industries, we are very excited to be involved in creating learning environments that help students succeed."

Major is America’s only one-stop, full-line skylight manufacturer, and its innovative, distinctive daylighting systems are found at schools across the country. It has installed more than 8,000 skylights and wall systems throughout the United States and abroad without a single failure.
