Carroll Seating and Hussey Seating know that adding customized school logos, mascots and emblems to your telescoping bleacher system can enhance school spirit. Using a special process we transform ordinary plain bleachers into the ultimate gymnasium to inspire your students, athletes and community. The designs are permanently bonded ensuring no peeling or scratching. The options for customization are endless: media platforms, end curtains to block unauthorized persons from climbing under the bleachers, colored railings, portable courtside seats. Schools can even use the space as a fundraising opportunity and sell the StepSigns to local business as advertising space.

As your Hussey Seating dealer our design team will work to create the right customizations for your facility, needs and of course budget. Contact our Kansas City design team at 816-471-2929.

The Lyons Township High School auditorium was in need of updating. School administration hired general contractor Henry Bros Co. for a major school renovation that involved the auditorium, school cafeterias, locker rooms and utility areas. Henry Bros Co. worked with the design team at Carroll Seating to plan a full update their auditorium. Originally built in 1929, the building faced many challenges including tricky sloping.

Here is the auditorium before:

When all options were discussed, the design team chose Hussey’s Quattro Seats. The modular Quattro Collection is built on four superb core styles, each featuring a chair back created for a distinct aesthetic and practical effect. The classic series was chosen for its timeless style, great look and durable polymer outer panel.

Here is a photo after the Carroll Seating installation:

The team at Carroll Seating was pleased with the finished outcome of this auditorium that now seats over 400 patrons. The Carroll Seating team hopes that Lyons Township High School will enjoy it for many school years to come. For more information about this auditorium project, please visit the Carroll Seating website or call us in Elk Grove, IL at 847-434-0909.

 

Complying with ADA regulations in a gymnasium or arena setting can be nothing short of frustrating. After all, few bleacher systems have the ability to ensure you’re giving everyone the seating opportunities needed, and while you certainly don’t want to exclude any patrons, landing on the perfect solution can be frustrating. Finally, there’s one option you can look to for easy ADA compliance – Flex-Row systems by Hussey Seating.

What Is It? ChicagoStateFlexRow2

Imagine traditional bleacher seating with one integral change, you can eliminate parts of the first row to help give you a number of different seating options. Push in a few seats or several. Flex-Row puts the options back in your hands.

Discover The Hidden Power

Flex-Row seating systems mean an endless variety of options on the first row. You can lock in different layouts for every single game, giving you a number of different ADA solutions. Entire parts of the first row are removable, so whether you have a challenging event that needs something a bit different, you need room for a scoring table, or you need wheelchair space for patrons, you have the options at your fingertips. Perhaps the best part of this equation is that if you need only a single row of seating, Flex-Row is still operational with the rest of the system in the fully closed position. It’s not only the best way to make certain your facility remains ADA compliant, but it’s also the best way to make certain you have the flexibility you need for almost any event or sport that you need to host.

Flex-Row systems mean more choices, no matter what activities or events you plan to host. To learn more about how Flex-Row systems might fit in with your seating plan, contact us today. We offer a level of personalized service few others in the industry can match.

Trying to design the perfect lecture room to meet your needs? The standard design may not work any longer. Today’s students and professionals alike are all a savvier brand, and they don’t like what’s come before them. Engaging them, then, is going to mean much more than yesterday’s lecture room. These tips can help you design the ideal room to meet your needs.

  • Collaboration, Sleek-Lecture-Seating Anyone? A lecture room may be for lectures, but collaboration is a must in many different settings these days, and that’s as true in a lecture room as it is anywhere else. Making that possible through the right seating choices is certainly possible, but you may have to do a little searching to find the perfect table and chairs to meet your needs.
  • Lots of Seating! Lecture rooms aren’t always going to be in use by the same group of people. In some cases, you may need to house much more than your standard capacity, and if that’s a possibility, you want to go with comfortable seating for anyone who might appear in your lecture room for a given occasion. You’ll need flexible seating choices that give all participants a great view.
  • Comfort Is a Must! You can’t simply stick with the traditional uncomfortable lecture seats in every setting. Instead, you may want unique, form fitting choices, like many of the best office chairs on the market today. How might that be possible in a lecture room? Just go with the fixed table choice instead of the attached chairs. It means ADA compliance and every participant gets the most comfortable seat in the house.

As you search for the right non-traditional solutions for your lecture room, let us help. With decades of experience in designing the perfect seating solutions to meet your needs, Carroll Seating is the only place to turn for all of your lecture hall needs. Contact us today to learn more.

Event facilities like yours have to be as flexible as possible. While you may be booked through one month with games, another month may be solid with lectures. Still another month may demand space for job fairs. No matter what kinds of events you hold on a routine basis, though, your best bet is to have good temporary seating available, and Hussey has an amazing line to meet your needs.

Portable Seating 4000 Series

Hussy-portable-seating

If you’re looking for the perfect way to get that custom look that’s as flexible as your schedule is, this is certainly the way to go. There are lots of options within this line including padded backs, padded and foam seats, vinyl and embossed panels on the back of seats, logo choices, permanent armrests, detachable arms, and ganging capabilities. There are also a variety of add-on choices like weather fighter treatments for those outdoor events, K-Braces for seat storage, frame trims, slip covers for advertising, and even auto uplift features to help keep your rows clear. The entire line is made to give you the sophistication you need while still recognizing how essential portability can be.

 Telescopic Seating

As great as portable seating is in many cases, telescopic seating often meets the needs of big event facilities too. When you think of telescopic seating, though, don’t just think of hard wooden bleachers in overcrowded high school gyms. Today’s choices are simply amazing. Whether you choose to go with metro style chairs, available both with and without upholstery, or classic, yet durable wood seating, the choices you find today can be contoured to fit your needs. What’s more, though, is that they give you recoverable space both in front of and behind the bleacher units, ideal for almost any activity. You can even add handrails, back rests, seat spacers, and media platforms. Need to take things to another level? Go with Power Glide choices to help you open and close your bleacher at the touch of a button. Perhaps one of the best options available is the ability to open and close a single row with some products, which means you only pull out the space you need.

Keeping your event facility as flexible as possible means more bookings every day, and the best way to do that is with great portable seating choices.

Caregivers, and those who assist and support the caregivers in hospitals and healthcare institutions (facilities departments and engineering departments), are under constant pressure from regulators to create the optimum safe environment for both patient and staff.  A facility’s choice in seating is no different, and believe it or not, a healthcare facility might easily get cited for choosing the wrong seating.  This was the topic of an actual conversation a member of our sales team had with a long-time client who is a director of a major medical center in the Chicagoland area.

Healthcare inspectors are concerned with clutter in hospital hallways and other areas that must be kept accessible to fire alarms, medical gas alarms, emergency shut-off valves, and patient hook-ups in case of emergency and for the safety of caregivers and patients. 

Violations by the accrediting agency (like The Joint Commission, for instance) or the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) [a state or local department of health]) can be issued for one small oversight, often because NFPA and the “Environment of Care” (in the case of TJC) can be interpreted differently. 

There has been a focus on reducing obstacles to these critical areas of care in healthcare institutions.  A major concern is chairs used by hospital staff. Our line of Clarin by Hussey fixed seating offers a great solution to this regulation. Anchored to the floor, our nurse’s station, will not interfere with those critical areas, or other staff performing their duties.

Is it comfortable?
ABSOLUTELY!  Clarin offers a variety of seats, backs, adjustable swivels to make it even more comfortable than any standard office chair you may purchase.  It comes in a variety of colors, and will accommodate almost any individual’s size. 

Is it durable?
You bet.  Clarin has one of the most extensive warranties in the industry with 12 years on structural components and 5 years on moving components. 

Is it versatile?
Of course!  You can design your chairs any way you like by picking the way it’s anchored, how much mobility you require, the colors and types of surfaces you prefer.  There are endless varieties of plastic, upholstery, and fabric options to integrate fully in to your space, while still maintaining a high morale among staff for its comfort and versatility.

Is it expensive?
The longevity and durability of this seating will outlast a typical desk chair.  They are built for 24/7 use, and once installed, you won’t have to worry about it again.  However, if there’s some change or adjustment you like, Carroll Seating Company will always be there to service you.  That’s part of the trick of being in business for 63 years.

Just for a Short While…  
There are times when installing seating isn’t necessary.  You may have a location that requires temporary seating that can be held onto and put out at a moment’s notice.  Perhaps you have a location that needs seating, but no place to install it.  There are a lot of reasons why you may need temporary seating – the question now is where to get it.

There are plenty of folding chairs out there that you could buy, but most folding chairs are inexpensive for a reason.  They don’t have a lot – if any – cushioning in them.  They may bend or break easily.  They simply aren’t the kind of chairs you want to present in your arena.  From major events to big time sports games, you will need the right kind of chairs that can quickly be set up and taken down while being enjoyed by those sitting in them between those times. portable seating


It’s All About High Quality  
To present the right image you need the right seats.  Carroll Seating Company offers a wide variety of portable seats through Hussey Seating.  Their folding chairs are the best of the best, and they are constantly working to improve upon their already amazing design.  Their goal is to make folding chairs that last year after year.  While they have already reached that goal with their current chairs, now they focus on extending that life even more so you always have comfortable, stylish chairs on standby.

These chairs can be customized any way you like.  Do you need them to have cup holders?  Wider seats?  Do they need to include tablet arms?  Are there any custom logos you need printed on the chairs?  There are many other ways you can make these chairs uniquely yours, and Carroll Seating gets you the styles you want ready and shipped as soon as possible so you can start setting up any time you need to.

The Choices, Affordability, and More  
There are so many great designs to choose from.  Whether you need some exquisitely plush chairs or utilitarian steel styles, they’re waiting for you. There is something for everyone, so simply talk to us about the various Series available and discover what suits your location best.
