The Best Seats
In The House

Named after the eighth prime minister of Canada, one of our more recent projects led us into Canada’s Capital Region at Sir Robert Borden High School.

Opened in 1969 and neighboured by the head office of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the school currently serves upwards of 825 students at their west-end Ottawa campus.

As part of a large project, our team was commissioned by the school board to aid in upgrading the existing fixed seating located inside the school’s auditorium. Serving as a meeting place for assemblies and dramatic presentations over the years, key stakeholders from the school board deemed the existing seating as outdated and were looking for a new solution that would serve the school and its students for years to come.

Heading into the largest city in the Canada, our team was thrilled to once again, be involved with the experienced team at George Brown College.

Boasting more Continuing Education courses than many other educational institutions, George Brown College covers a variety of subjects for their prospective students.  Programming includes sought-after subjects such as arts and design, business and legal studies, health sciences, technology and trades among many others.

With three campuses covering much of the Greater Toronto Area, George Brown has proven to be an institution those looking to sharpen their skills can trust.

Whether it be a new build or a renovation to an existing facility, when it comes to planning prospective seating, there is much to take into consideration. While to some, it might seem as easy as picking a number out of thin air in reality, that could not be further from the truth.

With the changing needs of many facilities, the question could be answered using a subtraction or an addition type of formula. With many stadiums, arenas and other locations opting for lower seat counts in hopes of a better spectator experience, the answer has progressed beyond the “go big or go home” mentality of not long ago.

As you prepare to plan seating for your new or existing location, here are a few key factors every planner should take into account before placing an order on new fixed seating.

When it comes to seating for use in educational facilities, buyers are traditionally looking for a few basic features to serve the demanding needs of their institution. Given the high level of traffic and constant use of lecture halls, these facilities require a chair that is durable, long lasting and relatively low maintenance.

We carefully select a number of fixed seating options to serve a wide range of facilities and organizations around the world and our sales team is highly knowledgeable and capable of finding the perfect fit. Here we will highlight a couple of our most popular fixed seating chairs for use in lecture halls and in other locations found in educational facilities. These products provide customers with an aesthetically pleasing seating solution that is built to withstand high-traffic areas and is easily cleaned and maintained, reducing scheduled maintenance costs.

While the excitement of your facility’s sporting events might keep your spectators on the edge of their seats, many owners and operators value the quality and function of those very seats that house their rowdy crowds.

Our fixed arena and stadium seating solutions aim to satisfy those needs along with enhancing the experience of game day for your fan base. This being said, today many arenas and stadiums today are built to satisfy more than just the needs of local sports teams. They are also used to serve a variety of other applications such as concerts, children’s performances and a variety of other special events. With this in mind, many facility managers and planners have a keen eye for detail and function when it comes to selecting fixed seating.
