SCHÖNOX – A SIKA BRAND
Florence, AL – April 22, 2025 –
To celebrate Earth Day 2025 Schönox proudly presented trees to Scott Jones, Principal of Allen Thornton Career Technical Center, at the construction site of the new Lauderdale County Innovation Center. The center is part of a development that also includes a Workforce Development Center and Agricultural Center. The flowering dogwood trees, native to Alabama, will be planted at a later date that coincides with the facility’s opening.
The project has been eight years in the making, and school leaders said the new facilities will create additional opportunities for students. The Innovation Center will offer students various career tech programs and vocational training.
“We’ll be able to serve more students,” Allen Thorton Technical Center Principal Scott Jones said. “Right now, we’re full. We’ve had to turn some students away. This is also more centrally located. It will help the students on the West End to have less travel time and give them more time in the classroom.”
Earth Day is the basis for our continued environmental awareness and community outreach efforts, as we recognize 55 years of environmental stewardship. Sustainability begins with conscious decisions. Every purchase we make has an environmental footprint. The products we buy, the companies we support, and the waste we generate all contribute to the planet’s well-being—or its decline. By choosing Schönox products, we invest in a future where environmental health and human well-being coexist. It’s about recognizing our power, our planet, and our people. Schönox high-performance subfloor products embody innovation and environmental responsibility.
Those in attendance were:
City of Florence Councilman, District 3, Bill Griffin
Allen Thornton Career Technical Center, Scott Jones, Principal
Schönox Sustainability Specialist, Deborah Coslow
Schönox Marketing Manager, Tracy Johnson
Schönox Sales Specialist, Garrett Wood
Sika Corporation, Director of Marketing, John Lio
