When it comes to community revitalization, most people think of retail, office and residential projects as the drivers.  But Taylor Johnson client Wight & Company is demonstrating how revival can take other forms, including public buildings, with its Will County Courthouse design-build project in Joliet, Ill. Recognizing the appeal of such a twist on expectations, the TJ team approached GlobeSt.com about the project, which resulted in a story with insights from Kevin Havens, executive vice president and director of design at Wight & Company. Read here about how the new Will County Courthouse is designed to not only improve the experience for visitors and employees, but also spark new development in downtown Joliet.

Wight & Company’s Will County Courthouse was one of only four projects awarded the American Institute of Architects’ 2018 Justice Facilities Review Citation.
