The visit provided students with a firsthand look at how infrastructure projects support public health, environmental resilience, and long-term community well-being.
The day began with a guided tour of HRSD’s SWIFT facility, where students learned how advanced treatment technologies are improving water quality and sustainability across the region. Students then visited the Nansemond Treatment Plant for a jobsite tour led by MEB team members Chase Spence and Justin Holbrook, where they observed active construction operations and learned how complex water and wastewater projects are planned, managed, and delivered safely. The students got a first-hand look into all of the different job opportunities on a construction site from laborers and superintendents to project engineers and project managers.

The students then visited MEB’s office for presentations that connected the field experience to the broader work of the company. Students were introduced to MEB as a full-service construction firm, including its environmental and resiliency work, community commitment efforts, and overall approach to workforce development. The visit built on MEB’s existing connection with Cape Henry Collegiate. In addition to constructing the school’s Center for Innovation & Performing Arts, MEB has previously hosted engineering-focused tours and welcomed students for job shadowing experiences, offering continued exposure to the construction industry and real-world career pathways.
Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Program, Kathleen Sharp, shared insight into the impact the visit had on the students, “This incredible visit and experience showed our students what it means to build with purpose through innovation and community. They saw firsthand that MEB’s work protects water, supports public health, and strengthens the environment while also creating space for new ideas in construction. Our students were especially impressed by and grateful for how openly Chase and Justin talked with our cohort and shared their own expertise in and excitement for their work. Experiences like these help our SEP students imagine futures where community impact and creative problem solving shape the next chapter for our region.”
