Assembly Area Layout Areas

Student Seating Area

Designed to ensure all students can comfortably watch school performances, presentations or special events:

• Metal folding chairs: Lightweight and easy to move, making them a breeze to set up, fold and store away as needed. The contoured seat and curved back offer extra comfort to keep students comfortable as they watch assemblies.
• Folding chair dolly: Supports several rows of stacked chairs, making set up and clean up simple. Sturdy, rolling casters easily move over any flooring.
• Seating circles: Offer cozy floor seating for young children. Seating circles help save space during a busy event, as the students seated in chairs can easily see over those seated on the floor.

Presentation Area

Features the equipment that special guests, performers or speakers need for a successful assembly:

• Portable stage: Easy to assemble and can be quickly taken down and stored away again when it's not needed. Its raised height ensures the watching students have a clear view of the speaker or performer.
• Stage skirting: Gives the portable stage a finished look and may be used to reduce distractions by hiding AV equipment, wires, or cables.

• Microphone and sound system: Allow speakers to be easily heard and seen as they move around the portable stage.
• Folding tables: Can be used to store trophies, awards or props for the ongoing presentation or special event. Their folding design makes them easy to set up and store away.
