Transforming Performance & Athletic Spaces for a Growing Community

Carroll Seating Company was proud to partner with Broken Bow Public Schools on a full modernization of both their auditorium and gymnasium, delivering seating, bleachers, and athletic equipment designed to support student performance, school spirit, and community engagement for years to come.

This project created two high-performance gathering spaces — one for the arts and one for athletics — each engineered for comfort, safety, and flexibility.

Auditorium Seating

The school’s two-level auditorium was outfitted with more than 500 Hussey Quattro® fixed seats, providing consistent comfort and sightlines across both the main floor and balcony. High-back ergonomic chair backs, plush waterfall seat foam, and quilted upholstery ensure long-lasting comfort for concerts, assemblies, and community events. Aluminum seat numbering and row lettering complete a clean, organized layout that improves patron flow and usability.

Gymnasium Bleachers

The main gym received two wall-attached Hussey MAXAM® powered bleacher banks, delivering fast, push-button conversion between open floor space and spectator seating. The systems include:

  • Courtside aluminum seat planks
  • Multiple aisles with self-storing safety rails
  • ADA-integrated Flex Rows
  • High-visibility black rail finishes and clear deck surfaces

Together, the bleachers provide a safe, durable, and visually modern seating solution for games, assemblies, and tournaments.

Athletic Equipment & Game Systems

To complete the gym upgrade, CSC installed a full package of Performance Sports Systems (PSS) athletic equipment, including:

  • Six ceiling-suspended, side-folding basketball systems for main-court and cross-court play
  • Regulation glass backboards with tournament breakaway goals
  • Motorized roll-up divider curtain to split the gym into multiple activity zones
  • Touchscreen centralized control system for safe, efficient operation
  • Volleyball floor sleeves and hardware for competitive play

This configuration allows the gym to quickly transform from a full-court competition venue into a multi-court PE and practice facility.

Built for the Way Schools Use Their Spaces Today

With premium auditorium seating, powered bleachers, and fully integrated athletic equipment, Broken Bow Public Schools now has two high-impact spaces designed to serve students, athletes, performers, and the broader community.

From concerts and assemblies to packed game nights and tournaments, these upgrades ensure Broken Bow’s facilities are ready for every crowd, every event, and every moment.
