For multipurpose indoor athletic venues like junior high school gyms, a school needs maximum flexibility. That’s why when working with Mahomet Junior High, the design team at Carroll Seating suggested retractable telescopic bleachers.

These new telescopic bleachers have seating for 289 people. The Administrators at Mahomet wanted some custom options for their gym seating. Their colors are blue and orange and the designers chose to compliment the colors of the gym floor by making the bleacher seats blue and railing orange. The designers at Carroll Seating added a Flex-Row into the seating layout that keeps this indoor gymnasium accessible and in ADA compliance. Finally, they added 10 Courtside seats. These plastic foldable chairs will be used by the teams and assemblies should extra portable seats be required.

These Hussey Maxam bleachers are extremely safe in that attach to their indoor gymnasium wall in three to 30-tier banks. There is a pendant power control that allows operators to retract the bleachers quickly. The retractable gymnasium seating is then locked and braced by carefully designed, rigorously tested seating supports and safety mechanisms that secure bleacher walking and seating surfaces. These Hussey Maxam Seats are also backed by a limited lifetime warranty and Carroll Seating’s 5-year warranty.

The team at Carroll Seating was excited to work on this project with the Mahomet Junior High and hopes they enjoy their new telescopic bleachers for many years to come. For more information about this gymnasium project, please visit the Carroll Seating website or call us in Elk Grove, IL at 847-434-0909.

School space is at an absolute premium these days. With more students than ever and seemingly less and less money, finding the level playing field gets harder all of the time. More space would help, right? Is it actually possible to find that without converting the janitorial closets into administrative offices? Actually, yes. Your next space saving campaign could start with telescoping gym bleachers.

Aren’t They Uncomfortable?

For schools that don’t already have telescoping bleachers, the biggest concern is lack of comfort for patrons and students during games, events, and assemblies. Sure, the hard wooden options of decades ago really weren’t that comfortable, but today’s choice certainly have those beat. With options like added row spacing, tapered sections, custom rises, and foldable platform chairs, these aren’t the bleachers you’re used to.

Aren’t They Harder to Use?

Today’s telescoping bleacher systems are easier to use than ever before. In fact, you can automate the entire process. At the touch of a button, the seating can automatically fill the right space. Touch it again and it retracts for added space. It just doesn’t get easier than that.

How Do They Look?

These seating choices look exactly like you want them to. Customized to fit your space exactly, you can add all sorts of features to help enhance the entire look of your gym. Add your mascot to help cheer your team on. Consider end-closure curtains. Think about doing the entire gym in your school colors. Sure, standard, hard wood bleachers were once the only option you had, but now you can be as colorful as you’d like to be.

To learn more about how we can give your gym a little more space with telescoping bleachers, give us a call today, and explore just how much you can do with that extra space!
