Courtside Seating for Sheridan College

Written by Ryan Wilby | Dec 22, 2015 11:53:54 AM

Founded nearly 50 years ago, Sheridan College has transformed into one of Ontario’s leading postsecondary institutions and shows no signs of slowing down. The college’s 110,000+ alumni power workforces across North America and around the world with specialties in the fields of arts, business, community service, health, technology and the skilled trades.

Today, the institution is spread across unique campuses spanning the Greater Toronto Area with locations in Brampton, Mississauga and two campuses in Oakville, Ontario. Much the same as the academic side of the college, Sheridan’s athletics have blossomed over the years as well. With the goal of enhancing student life by striving to provide gender-balanced varsity representation, the Sheridan Athletics programs have every student athlete accounted for. The Sheridan Bruins are represented proudly in the sports of basketball, soccer, volleyball, rugby, and cross country with each sport having both women’s and men’s teams.

One of our most recent projects was a customized order of courtside seating by Sheridan College to be used at a couple of their campuses for their men’s and women’s basketball teams. These portable chairs are often considered the best seats in the house and give spectators an up close and personal point of view of the game. Courtside seating chairs also give facilities another level of versatility as they can also be used in other spectator settings and for athlete use in areas such as locker rooms. Their lightweight, yet sturdy steel structure and steel cross-braces provide support to even the largest of athletes.

Sheridan ordered a number of these courtside chairs in a customized colour scheme, complete with the team name; “Bruins” embossed on the seatbacks for added team spirit and branding. These chairs are now in use at the Davis campus; the school’s largest campus, as well as at the Trafalgar campus located in Oakville, Ontario.
