CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 28, 2026 /3BL/ – Ask a few students at Monarca Academy in Indianapolis what they plan to do when they grow up and you’ll get some pretty impressive responses: engineer, architect, nurse, astronomer.

A few years ago, these career choices may have seemed out of reach. But a digital lab established by Arrow Electronics and nonprofit N50, has provided Monarca’s students with access to technology that has broadened their horizons. Arrow recently celebrated the first anniversary of the lab, which has grown into a larger space with new technology and additional programming.

“It’s been really great in one year to see the engagement around the things that the lab has brought us,” said Felicia Sears, Monarch Academy’s founding principal.

The lab launched with 20 workstations, interactive SMART boards, an AI tool, 3D printer, a FIRST Robotics kit (to allow students to build and program a competition-grade robot) and a reliable Internet connection. Four additional 3D printers now round out the offerings. The technology enables students to unlock new skills such as coding and AI experimentation.

“Before, I wanted to be a construction worker,” remarked one student. “But now that I know how to make designs and the only limit is my imagination, I kind of want to be an architect.”

Monarca’s lab is part of N50’s EdTech Equity initiative, which is committed to expanding access to technology and connectivity for students in under-resourced communities. Arrow, along with companies like Intel, ApplianSys and SMART Technologies, is helping N50 bridge the divide through low-cost, scalable and sustainable technology solutions.

Arrow’s relationship with Monarca goes beyond just providing critical equipment. Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team Driver Pato O’Ward has long served as mentor for the school and on a recent visit, took the students to McLaren’s U.S. headquarters to learn about race engineering and technology. O’Ward finished fourth in the 110^th Indy 500 on May 24.

“We don’t know what those careers look like now that are going to be available in 10 years. But we are helping students be future ready and this technology is helping us in that,” said Francisco Valdiosera, Monarca Academy’s executive director of Arrow’s support.

Arrow has worked with N50 to open 4 labs in the U.S. and Mexico. Together, they expect to launch two labs this year.

About N50 Project
The N50 Project’s EdTech for All initiative is committed to closing the digital divide in education by providing students and educators in underserved communities with critical access to technology. With over 60 global partners, the initiative supports the deployment of connectivity kits, smart boards, digital learning platforms and refurbished laptops to empower the next generation with the digital skills needed for a modern workforce.

For more than a century, Covia’s Portage Plant has been part of Wisconsin’s industrial landscape. Located in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, the plant transforms a naturally distinctive silica sand deposit into materials that support customers across markets including glass, building products, foundry, and engineered stone. Portage has a long history of producing essential materials, but the plant’s story is not defined by products alone. It is also the story of a resilient 17-member team that has continued to adapt, improve, and deliver, a combined effort that ultimately earned Portage recognition as Covia’s 2025 Plant of the Year.

A Plant Rooted in Wisconsin Sand

The Portage facility began as a silica brick manufacturing plant in the early 1900s. Today, the facility continues that long industrial legacy by producing silica sand products used in a range of customer applications, including:

• GLASSIL® high-purity glass sand
• INCAST® foundry sand
• GRANUSIL® high-performance industrial silica
• FILTERSIL® filtration sand and gravel
• TRACSAND® traction sand

These products directly support industries where consistency, chemistry, grain shape, and performance matter. That breadth of service is part of what makes the plant an important contributor within Covia’s broader network.

A Deposit with Natural Advantages

One of Portage’s defining strengths lies beneath the surface. The facility’s strategic location plays a key role in the team’s ability to produce a range of quality products.“The geological deposit is a unique aspect of the plant,” explains Plant Manager, Nolan Mundwiller. “Portage mines the Galesville Member of the Wonewoc Sandstone Formation which has chemistry, size distribution, and shape characteristics that are naturally desirable to our end customers.”According to Nolan, Portage’s mining and processing methods also set the facility apart. He cites the dredge mining process as particularly notable, as the dredge recovers sand from approximately 50 feet below the water level before pumping it to the wet process. That sand is then stockpiled for the winter months so the plant can provide products to customers throughout the year. It is a highly coordinated operation that requires equipment knowledge, process discipline, and clear communication across a tight-knit team.

A Firsthand Look at Customer Impact

In 2025, the Portage team brought Covia’s Mission, Vision, and Values to life by connecting employees directly with the impact of their work. The team toured a customer’s facility to see how the materials they produced truly impact the success of a valued customer.The experience gave employees a firsthand look at the customer side of the value chain, beginning with a panoramic view from the top of the facility before touring the control room, maintenance facility, storeroom, and production areas. Witnessing memorable moments like a sand batch entering the furnace to begin its transformation provided a new perspective on the connection between the team’s daily work and customer success.The overall tour reinforced a key message across Covia that a plant’s work doesn’t end when material leaves the facility. Each team member’s contributions play a continuing role through the customers and industries that depend on their dedication to quality and innovation.“I encourage all Covia plants to explore similar opportunities,” Director of Operations Excellence, Sean Lyons said. “Seeing our product in action, understanding its value to customers, and connecting with their teams is a powerful way to build pride, purpose, and engagement among our team members.”

Continued Resilience Throughout the Years

The Portage plant earned the award for 2025 Plant of the Year for its exceptional operational results while meeting all its safety and environmental KPIs. What’s especially impressive about this performance is that they succeeded during a year that tested the team’s adaptability.Like many industrial operations, Portage faced changing market conditions and volume-related uncertainty. Despite being one of Covia’s smaller, older facilities with limited capital investment, the team responded with focus, accountability, and a shared commitment to performance. Notable highlights include:

• Achieving cost-per-ton performance at or below budget 
• Maintaining zero plant-controllable customer complaints.
• Implementing innovative scheduling and workforce adjustments
• Optimizing operations to reduce electricity costs

“I am most proud of the resilience of the team and their ability to work together and weather challenges,” Nolan said. “Volume losses in 2025 brought about much uncertainty, but the team rallied together to exceed expectations. It was incredible to see the perseverance and growth mindset of the team given the challenges.”

Safety as a Shared Responsibility

At Portage, safety is more than a requirement. It is a daily commitment shaped by accountability and care for one another, culminating in the plant recently achieving two years without a recordable incident. According to Nolan, that achievement would not be possible without the commitment of the entire team.“Safety first means having an unwavering commitment to ensure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day,” Nolan said. “Everyone at the plant holds each other accountable and you truly feel that the team looks out for one another each and every day.”

Environmental Stewardship for Today and Tomorrow

Another reason why Portage was named Plant of the Year is that the team’s connection to its site extends beyond production.The dredge pond used in the plant’s mining process is a Wisconsin Registered Fish Farm. Looking ahead, the site is expected to become a wildlife habitat certified site through reclamation, creating long-term value for the Columbia County community.That future-focused approach adds another dimension to the plant’s role in Wisconsin. Portage is both a working industrial operation and a site with a longer environmental story, one that connects resource development, employee engagement, and community stewardship.

An Award-Winning Plant Built on Commitment

Covia’s Plant of the Year award recognizes excellence across safety, manufacturing performance, environmental stewardship, community engagement, customer focus, and operational results. Succeeding across all these criteria is impressive, and none of it is possible without having the right people.Portage’s recognition as Plant of the Year reflects the strength of a team that continued to deliver in a challenging year while staying grounded in the values that guide Covia’s work. From the geological strengths of the Wonewoc Sandstone Formation to the teamwork behind every product, Portage represents the balance of technical expertise and people-first culture that defines Covia’s best operations.

NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 /3BL/ – The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) today announced a significant evolution of its Works with WELL program, introducing expanded alignment pathways and a redesigned platform experience that broadens how manufacturers, service providers and solution providers can demonstrate alignment with the WELL Building Standard and support healthier spaces around the world.

Originally launched in 2023, Works with WELL was created as a product licensing program to help manufacturers showcase how their products contribute to WELL strategies and help project teams more easily identify solutions aligned with health and well-being goals. The program and its solution directory has been a tremendous support tool for project teams and specifiers around the world to access products and services already validated to support WELL strategies. The expanded program introduces a significantly enhanced platform experience for both manufacturers and specifiers, a streamlined application and review process and new pathways for alignment that broaden eligibility beyond product categories explicitly referenced within WELL requirements.

With the updated program, organizations can now pursue alignment through three distinct pathways:

• Directly Contributes — products and services that are explicitly called for and meet the relevant criteria within the WELL requirements
• Measures — products that measure performance thresholds referenced in WELL strategies
• Supports — products and services that support the implementation of WELL strategies, even when not explicitly referenced within WELL requirements

The addition of the new “Measures” and “Supports” pathways significantly expands the range of organizations eligible to participate in Works with WELL, opening the program to new categories of technologies, devices, services and operational solutions that help advance health and well-being in the built environment.

“As the healthy building movement continues to accelerate globally, a growing range of innovative products, technologies and services are helping advance human health and well-being in the built environment,” said Jessica Cooper, IWBI Chief Product Officer. “This evolution of Works with WELL is designed to match that pace, giving organizations more ways to connect their products and services to WELL strategies, and giving specifiers an easier way to find them.”

The redesigned program also introduces a refreshed user experience for both manufacturers and project teams. Updates include a streamlined, guided submission process, improved flexibility to define product skus or models, ease of editing and adding new images. All of these new features contribute to improved user navigation and enhanced visibility in the solution directory where users can identify products and services validated to align with WELL strategies.

Products and services validated to align with WELL strategies may use the Works with WELL mark to demonstrate how they relate to the global standard for making buildings and organizations a powerful venue for promoting health. The Works with WELL mark and its solution directory can help organizations strengthen brand visibility, build customer confidence and connect with growing market demand for healthier and higher-performing spaces.

As the market for healthy buildings continues to grow, with WELL programs already integrated in nearly 100,000 commercial and residential locations across more than six billion square feet of real estate, the expanded Works with WELL program reflects IWBI’s broader effort to support a growing ecosystem of organizations helping advance health, well-being and performance across buildings, organizations and communities.

What Works with WELL participants are saying about the program:

“We’ve taken the guesswork out of material health. By validating our most‑specified products against WELL’s material health features, the Works with WELL mark gives designers and clients a clear, credible path to achieving their certification goals.”

• Eric Doyle, Global Sustainability, Steelcase

“Joining the Works with WELL program is a natural extension of UNICORN in every stall’s mission to support more inclusive and human-centered restroom experiences. The program provides a credible framework that aligns our solutions with leading standards for health, accessibility, and thoughtful building design. We believe the restroom is an important part of the overall building experience, and Works with WELL helps reinforce that vision in a meaningful and tangible way.”

• Ellen Cynar, MS, MPH, Partnerships & Operations, UNICORN

“By validating that EcoWorx aligns with material health features within WELL, the Works with WELL mark makes it even easier for customers focused on health & wellbeing to make confident purchasing decisions.”

• Candi Hampton, Vice President of Global Sustainability, Shaw Industries

“For more than 40 years, Logitech has worked with industry leaders to unlock the power of people and teams to do their best work. By collaborating with IWBI and earning the Works with WELL mark on our workplace technology solutions, including Logitech Spot and Rally Board 65, we give global enterprise leaders the tools and real-time insights they need to optimize their workspaces in ways that benefit both people and the planet.”

• David Houseman, Global Head of Workplace Experience, Logitech
