Moline College Athletic Locker Room and Case Work Installation

Carroll Seating Company designs and installs athletic lockers in locker rooms for high schools, colleges and universities through out the midwest. Beyond being a locker and auditorium seating contractor, we also specialize in the design and construction of science casework and laboratory fume hoods.  We take pride in providing custom solutions to fit the unique needs of each client.

Recently, Carroll Seating Company completed a locker room and case work installation project for Moline College’s athletic facilities. The college was looking to update their locker rooms and laboratory spaces with modern and functional designs. They turned to Carroll Seating Company for their expertise in creating custom solutions that would meet their specific requirements.

The new locker room design features state-of-the-art lockers, equipped with individual outlets and USB ports for players to charge their devices while using the facilities. The lockers also include ventilation systems to keep equipment dry and odor-free, as well as secure locks for added safety.

We were also to assist this client with the design and installation of science casework and fume hoods in their college science lab.  Our team worked closely with the college’s faculty to understand their needs and design a space that would promote efficient and safe scientific research.

The result was a modern, functional, and visually appealing science lab that exceeded the expectations of both the students and faculty. With our expertise in seating solutions and laboratory design, Carroll Seating Company was able to provide this college with top-of-the-line facilities for both athletics and academics. We are proud to have been a part of their campus improvement project and look forward to continuing to serve them as they grow and evolve in the future.

Project Scope : This project included the installation of new custom case locker systems.

Michael Kent Carroll (1967-2021)

Vice President of Carroll Seating Company

With the heaviest of hearts, we announce the passing of our Vice President, Michael K. Carroll.

Born and raised in Lake Forest, IL. Mike went to the University of Kansas, graduating with the class of 1990. Making Kansas his home; Mike opened his own business selling casework and millwork to one major customer, Bagel & Bagel. He was a born businessman (following in the footsteps of his late Father Patrick Carroll, Sr.) and quickly started spreading his wings and establishing a business built on hard work and dedication to his customers.

In true Michael spirit, living life to the fullest, he decided at a young age to “retire” from a standard 9-5 and travel around the world for a year. After returning home, Mike established Carroll Seating – KC, selling all our major lines in Kansas and Missouri. Very quickly he turned CSC KC into a multi-million-dollar sales company. Growing the business for the next 25 years; establishing offices in St Louis, MO and Owatonna, MN with territory in Iowa, Nebraska and beyond CSC KC is the ultimate testimony to his legacy.

Mike’s personal fire went out on July 12, 2021. For those who had the pleasure of knowing him, he had a love for life, his family, his friends, his music and so much more. His smile was infectious, his passion about so many things unmatched. He will be sorely missed in our family, business and life.

Mike is survived by his wife Maureen, three children Porter, Corbin, Hudson and three stepchildren Wheaton, Elizabeth and Riley. sister Susan (Kevin), brother PJ (Suzy), brother Tracy and a host of nieces and nephews and great nieces & nephews.

In remembrance of Michael’s life, the family asks that any charitable donations be made to Christmas  in October https://christmasinoctober.org/

Laboratory Fume HoodLaboratory Fume Hood

Carroll Seating does more than just auditorium and theatre seating. We also design and install casework and other laboratory items including fume hoods. 

 

Laboratory Casework

When you are looking into getting efficient and resilient laboratory casework to ensure the integrity of your scientific research, you may encounter a type of lab equipment called a fume hood. These devices are important for your lab work, particularly if you are working with potentially dangerous chemicals. Learn more about fume hoods, their importance as laboratory casework, and the different types of fume hoods available.

What Is a Fume Hood?

A laboratory fume hood, sometimes also known as an exhaust hood, is a device that contains a space completely enclosed to the rest of the lab environment, except for necessary ductwork connected to mechanical ventilation, as well as exhaust purposes on three sides, top, and bottom. Operated through the restricted use of arms and hands by the user, this type of laboratory casework uses the ventilation to draw fumes, gases, and vapors inwards, and exhausts them into the atmosphere outside the lab.

Purpose of a Fume Hood

The primary function of this laboratory casework is the safety of lab workers. Fume hoods accomplish this specifically by:

Isolating the fumes, vapors, and gases created by chemicals and expelling them through the laboratory’s exhaust system.

Protecting the operators and other lab workers from solid or liquid hazards, as well as chemical reactions like explosions, splashes, or fires. A sliding window, called a sash, adjusts the flow of air and determined how quickly air flows through the fume hood

Contributing to the laboratory’s overall ventilation as air flows through the hood.

Types of Fume Hood

Most laboratories use two different types of fume hoods:

Constant air volume (CAV). This type of laboratory casework pulls in and exhausts air at the same rate regardless of he position of the sash. If the sash is lowered the velocity of the airflow increases proportionally, with the effect reversed if the sash is raised.

Variable air volume (VAV). This fume hood works in conjunction with other exhaust control systems so that the velocity of the airflow responds to the status of the sash. Therefore, if the sash raises or lowers, the system modulates the velocity to keep it consistent at any time.

Best Safety Work Practices

Just like with most laboratory casework, you can maintain the efficiency of the fume hood and the overall safety of the environment by following safe practices during operation. Use the following safe work practices when operating a fume hood:

Conduct all experiments at least six inches away from the hood
Maintain the sash closed as much as possible
Handle the materials slowly and precisely
Do not use the laboratory casework as waste disposal
Keep the device free from obstructions

As you have seen, a fume hood is an essential laboratory component that protects the people in the lab and the rest of the building from dangerous chemicals and unexpected reactions. Carroll Seating provides laboratories with products from Institutional Casework Inc. The manufacturer’s specific product, the Jamestown Metal fume hood, combines maximum isolation design with approved architectural standards to create a unique, but safe, type of laboratory casework.
