There are certain steps a company can take to ensure safety when their product is being used. Hussey Seating makes sure to roll the edges of all understructure steel to prevent sharp edges, they have always used closed loop railing so that backpacks, purses and other things can’t get snagged accidentally and cause an injury to someone. What they can’t ensure all the time is that their product is being used correctly every time. They can teach and install to standards, but ensuring that aisle railing were always positioned correctly after the bleachers were extended wasn’t something they could do feasibly. After sitting down to brainstorm how to resolve this problem they came up with the Auto Rotating Center Safety Aisle system. Their revolutionary patent pending system has permanently mounted rails that are turned out in the correct direction by the motion of the bleachers extending. And likewise as the bleachers are pulled back in the railing drops and turns for safe storage. If you are interested in learning more about Hussey’s Auto Rotating Center rail for your school’s gymnasium renovation call our Chicago office design team 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.

Look Modern
Whether you manage a cafeteria, help run a school, or even run a business with many employees, “keeping up with the Jones” is a very big deal. While completely renovating a building to make the architecture modern would most likely be far too uneconomical to pursue, there is indeed a different way for you to make your facility shine to both visitors and those who attend it or work at it: a change in seating and furniture.

This is certainly a way to keep with the times without breaking the bank, and the furniture inherently can make a bold statement about the type of atmosphere you wish for your building to have.

Get a Cozy Feel
The last thing most visitors to a new building want is to be forced to sit in old, hard chairs. This feels far more institutionalized than any recreational furniture should be. Fortunately, we have a solution for you!

Don’t keep your old furniture and allow your patrons to suffer! Rather, have one of our consultants come take a look. We can recommend any of a variety of our professional and endorsed seating to make your atmosphere be as appealing and accommodating as possible.

Save Money
Seating arrangements in many buildings are not nearly as economical as they could be. If you find that you are often running out of seating for your clientele, chances are you feel that you’re in a crunch. While you need for your customers to sit comfortably, you most likely would not like to take out a loan to completely remodel.

Luckily, we can also make custom seating arrangements for you. These can be very ergonomically sound chairs that are arranged in a more compacted fashion, but feel far more comfortable to your patrons than your old seating.

In this fashion, you save money while making your patrons feel far more comfortable. Rather than needing to remodel, you can simply buy new furniture that spruces up the atmosphere, makes it more physically comfortable, and saves you money! In the end, the situation is a win-win, no matter what your perspective is!
