The Need for Assembly Areas

The assembly area for middle school and high school ensures student performances and special programs go off without a hitch. A spacious portable stage can be quickly set up for student performances, and easily moved out of the way and stored when it's not needed. Stackable folding chairs are easy to set up and arrange in neat rows, and their padded seats keep students comfortable as they watch assemblies or school programs. AV equipment such as a digital projector, low-glare screen, microphones and a PA system ensure everything needed for school presentations remains close at hand.

What Makes a Great Assembly Area?

For Students

The assembly area should provide comfortable seating, ensuring their focus remains on the performance or program being presented. The portable stage should be easily accessible and equipped with rails for maximum safety during student performances.

For Teachers

The best assembly area should feature a portable stage that can be quickly and efficiently assembled and disassembled as needed. Chair should be lightweight and stackable for easy storage. They should be able to effortlessly move through the seating rows so they can keep an eye on all the students in the room.

For Administrators

The assembly area should be furnished in a way that meets the needs of their school. Products must be readily available and delivered on time. Installation should be quick and efficient.
