University of Southern Indiana Gymnasium Seating by Hussey Seating Company

Overview

The University of Southern Indiana (USI), known for its dynamic athletic programs, sought to upgrade the seating in its athletic facility. The goal was to provide a seating solution that combined functionality, safety, and aesthetic appeal, aligning with the university's vibrant environment. To achieve this, USI partnered with Hussey Seating Company’s local dealer, Lee Company, to install a state-of-the-art seating system to enhance the spectator experience and reflect the university’s branding.

USI needed seating that offered flexibility, safety, and comfort while incorporating the university's branding. The seating had to accommodate various events, from sports games to community gatherings, requiring a solution that could quickly adapt to different configurations. Additionally, the university aimed to create a visually cohesive look that aligned with its identity, making the facility a proper home for USI athletics.

Hussey Seating Company, through Lee Company, delivered a comprehensive seating solution tailored to USI’s needs:

Upholstered Metro Chairs in a Signature Logo Color Scheme: To align with USI’s branding, the seating system included upholstered Metro chairs in a custom color scheme. These chairs provide superior comfort and sightlines for spectators, creating a visually cohesive environment that reflects the university’s identity.
Maxam+ Telescopic Platforms: These durable and flexible platforms form the foundation of the new seating system, allowing quick and easy reconfiguration of the seating layout to adapt to different events.
Fixed Front Rails, Self-Storing End Rails, and Fold & Stow Aisle Rails: To enhance safety and functionality, the system was equipped with fixed front rails, self-storing end rails, and foldable aisle rails. These features ensure secure and accessible seating while making storage and setup efficient.

The partnership between the University of Southern Indiana and Lee Company successfully upgraded the athletic facility’s seating. The installation of Maxam+ telescopic platforms and upholstered Metro chairs in a custom color scheme has significantly improved the facility's functionality, safety, and aesthetic appeal, enhancing the overall spectator experience.
