Lake Zurich High School Telescopic Bleacher Replacement Project

Welcome to our first In the Field spotlight—a behind-the-scenes look at how Carroll Seating Company brings spaces to life, one project at a time. We’re kicking things off with a major upgrade at Lake Zurich High School in Lake Zurich, Illinois: a full telescopic bleacher replacement that’s raising the bar for school athletic facilities.

Designed for Performance, Built to Last

Partnering closely with school leaders and athletic staff, our team designed a custom bleacher system that checks every box:
  • Maximized seating capacity for fans and families
  • Smooth, motorized operation for easy setup and storage
  • Durable construction featuring steel frames and aluminum planks
  • Enhanced safety and accessibility for users and maintenance teams alike

This installation isn’t just about seats—it’s about elevating the game-day experience for everyone who walks through the gym doors.

Out with the Old, In with the Exceptional

At first glance, the old bleachers seemed to hold up—but a closer look told a different story. Years of wear and tear, outdated design, and rising maintenance costs made this system a prime candidate for replacement.

Interestingly, Carroll Seating Company installed the original bleacher system decades ago, and while it served the school well for many years, it was time for a modern upgrade. Now, we’re proud to return as the trusted partner—bringing the next generation of seating to Lake Zurich High School.
