What to Consider When Deciding on University Student Housing Security Desks

While parents may be worried about academics and students more concerned with parties or friends, one thing that everyone can agree on is this: security is paramount on university campuses. Onsite housing has to be secure; operating fully-equipped security desks is a must to ensure safety and give both parents and students more peace-of-mind. What should you consider when choosing your security desks?
Keep the following questions in mind when selecting university student housing security desks:

What type of functionality do you need? Security desks can be equipped with a number of features, depending on your particular needs. These include: work spaces (for computers), locked drawers and/or boxes, transaction counter for people to sign in and out, casters for portability, and locked alert boxes so students and others can leave messages in the event that someone needs help. Carroll Seating Company specializes in creating customized solutions for your work spaces. When you identify a need, we will make sure it is filled with our products.
What size will work best for your residential building? Security desks can come in a variety of sizes, as well as custom sizes. Are space concerns a primary factor? Do you need room for more than one employee at the desk?
Do you want university branding and customization? Security desks perform an important function, but they can also pull double duty. Why not brand them with your school’s colors, mascot, and slogan, or the name of the particular residence. This can help create a cohesive appearance among campus housing and a sense of community.

Safety is a major concern for students and universities; opting for customized security desks will help your school provide the safe environment on-campus residents need and depend on as they walk to classes in the morning and to and from the library (or a party!) at night.

What sets your gym apart from every other one in the nation? What makes your games so much better to attend? Besides the teams on the floor, the single best thing that can distinguish your gym from every other is the quality of your seating, and if you’re like most facilities these days, you simply can’t invest in a fixed seating solution. It wastes far too much valuable space that you could be using routinely for other things when there isn’t a game. Is there a better solution? Absolutely. Our custom telescoping gym bleachers are the only way to go.

Your Choices, Your Style
There are lots of telescoping gym seating options on the market today, but the biggest problem is that many of them are prefabricated. Essentially, they’ve been built to someone else’s specs. The builders don’t know your gym. They don’t know what you need. In most cases, they’ve never even heard of your facility. Custom options, though, mean a much better choice. They can be customized to fit your gym, no matter what the size. What’s more, though, is that you can even go with easily configurable options like Flex-Row that can provide ADA solutions for your entire audience. You could even create integrated team seating, customize it with your school colors or lettering, or even add a media platform if necessary. The options with customization are endless, but your choices stop at one place – Carroll Seating Company.

Why Move Forward With Us?
For generations, Carroll Seating Company has been working with facilities just like yours on custom-tailored solutions that truly reflect your needs. When you choose us, you get a dedicated project manager who will work with you from that first time you contact us through to the end of installation. When it’s time for a bit of maintenance, you simply call us again. We’re right here for you now, and we plan to be well into the future.

You have the chance to make your gym shine like no other with custom telescoping gym seating, and we can help. Give us a call today to learn how.

The classroom – it’s a space for learning and discovery like no other. So many amazing things can happen in a classroom, and while a classroom doesn’t even have to be a defined space, it certainly helps to create the right atmosphere for learning. From primary school classrooms through university spaces designed for those obtaining degrees at the highest level, aesthetics can actually enhance the learning process, and one simple way to ensure you’re building the right aesthetic feel is to choose custom casework for every classroom in the building.

Understanding the Process
It starts with a simple idea. You know what you want in a given area. Whether it’s a science lab or a foreign language classroom, your ideas go far during the process. From there, you’ll contact the right custom casework company to meet your needs. While there are many, you’ll want to select one with extensive industry experience so you can make certain you’re getting the best from the outset. You’ll also want one with a fairly large catalog of options so you can make sure you’re getting exactly what you want in terms of look, options, and finishes. Once you’ve found the right company, you’ll sit down with your case or project manager to make your order. Order placed, the waiting process begins. Often within a few weeks, your order will be ready, and installation can begin in your facility. This is perhaps the best part, as you begin to watch your classrooms transform from drab and dull to nothing short of magazine-style amazing. Be sure to take lots of photos during the process for your newsletter or newspaper so everyone can watch the process unfold just as you have. Once the casework is installed and the finishing touches are put on, it’s time for your magnificent unveiling to students and staff. They’ll be so surprised at the new atmosphere you set into motion with a single call.

Making the Right Choices
With so many potential selections out there, it’s easy to wonder if you’ll make the right choice and create that perfect atmosphere for your students and teachers alike. Fortunately, most companies that create and install custom casework have you covered there, too. With designers on staff to help guide your decision making process and ensure you get exactly what you need in your order, you’ll have beautiful classrooms no matter what selections you make.
Custom casework can do so much for your classrooms. Look into it today, and enhance learning throughout your facility.

If you have bleachers, you know the importance of regular inspections. Without them, you could have a headline-splashing tragedy on your hands in a hurry. Even if tragedy doesn’t occur, regular maintenance means a longer life for your bleachers without stressing all of the components that are so necessary for stronger functionality. A big part of maintenance in many areas is replacing various parts, but where do you turn when you need the parts and hardware to keep your bleachers safe and functioning well? Carroll Seating Company.

A Different Approach
While you can likely order parts that may take weeks to arrive from some questionable reseller online to help maintain your bleachers, Carroll Seating Company takes a very different approach. For decades, we’ve been helping organizations just like yours install and maintain their bleacher systems, and whether you’ve worked with us before or you’ve had other companies in, we can help. We provide certified inspections to help ensure you’re maintaining code compliance, and we’ll even be happy to make any repairs to issues we find during inspection. Additionally, our warehouse stocks hundreds of common replacement parts that ship out within forty-eight hours of your order. If necessary, we’ll be happy to obtain any parts for you that we don’t currently stock. We’ll even come install them, ensuring you have the safe, reliable seating you need for your patrons.

Bleacher safety is an absolute must in today’s society, but it can be difficult to maintain systems on your own. Find a partner who can help. Carroll Seating Company would be proud to be that partner. Give us a call today to set up an inspection or simply to discuss your bleacher safety options. We’ll be happy to advise you on all of your options and ensure you get exactly what you need.
