Carroll Seating completed a 1.9 Million job at the New NIU first Year Residence hall in the summer of 2012. The job consisted of 80 cluster kitchens with casework and solid surface tops, 1,000 solid surface vanities with integral sinks, 1,000 closet shelves and rods, custom wood veneer panels and architectural woodwork throughout the mailroom, security area and cafeteria, and over a mile long of solid surface for window sills.
The Liberty High School and Liberty North High School were in need of updating. School administration hired general contractor Universal Construction for a major school renovation that involved the school cafeterias, weight room, staff lounge, entry, hallways and other areas.

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 DLA Architects, Ltd. and the 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.

With hundreds of students entering the classroom this fall, ensuring your learning facilities are adequate to meet their needs is nothing short of a must. While many schools think about the technology students need most to succeed, several overlook the importance of the basics, like comfortable lecture hall seating.
A chair is a chair is a chair, right? Not quite when it comes to building a productive learning environment. Studies have repeatedly shown that people learn better in comfortable environments, and if you’re selecting something that is about as comfortable as a rock, you’re going to have nearly that level of success in the classroom. The last thing instructors want is students to be concerned about their seating, and providing better options mean they’ll never have to give it a second thought as they move this way or that in their seats working to take notes and pay attention in class.
Are There Any Real Options Out There?
If you haven’t shopped for lecture hall seating recently, you may not even know that there are several options available to meet the needs of your students. Take a look at a few.

Coaching volleyball successfully is one of the toughest things you’ll ever do. It’s not like any other sport out there because working with your players means far more than providing them with the right training necessary.

Whether you’re building or renovating, you’ve probably already heard the term LEED standards tossed around at least once or twice. Not sure what they are? You’re not alone. This quick guide can help.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design. It’s a green building certification program through the US Green Building Council. The idea behind these standards was to literally transform the construction industry to create a greener planet. It considers how buildings are designed and constructed as well as how entire communities are created on a global scale.
LEED certified buildings help to save resources (and money in some cases), because they’re designed with renewable energy in mind. Not every building can be LEED certified, though. Instead, there are certain prerequisites that have to be satisfied and a number of different points to be earned in certain areas to get to various levels of certification.
If you’re building a new facility or you’re having an older facility renovated, you can certainly choose to go with LEED certification. There are a number of reasons you may want to consider it. LEED certification is a mark of achievement unlike any other, and if you’re serious about a green commitment within your company, it’s something you’ll want to consider. LEED certification means that you’re going to conserve energy and resources every step of the way. You’ll be able to provide employees and customers alike with better indoor air quality thanks to your building material choices, and you’ll achieve real returns throughout the life of the structure because it costs less to operate and reduces energy and your water bills.
Interested in becoming LEED certified with your upcoming project? Contact us today to learn how we can help ensure your project meets the requirements.
As you seek to enhance your office or facility, you may look for better woodwork options, and with good reason. Small touches like the perfect woodwork can say a lot about your company. Not every company chooses to go with customized woodwork at the end of a long project, though. Why should you? Take a look.
Customized Options: You already have that perfect design in your head, and we can take your ideas and produce reality for your company. From the most complex choices to simple options that will change the way people look at your space, we’re here to make a dramatic impact on your project. We never work with cookie-cutter designs at Carroll Seating. Instead, we always take a closer look at your wants and needs before we ever begin to produce a closer look at what you might want in your building.
Variety of Materials: While wood is certainly a natural choice for casework, it’s a bit limiting for today’s variable palate and space. We can certainly work with any wood choices you like, but we can also help if you prefer metal or laminate finishes. If you can dream it, we can design and build it to meet your needs.
Durable Beauty: All of our casework is built to last throughout the life of your facility. We create to reflect the highest possible industry standards, so you’ll always find the best possible option to meet the needs of your budget when you work with us.
No matter why you’re looking to architectural woodwork to help give your space that finished look, we can help. Contact us today to learn more about all of our options, including industry specific choices that may be the perfect way to meet the needs of your company or facility.
