End Customer: Holgate Local Schools
Location: Holgate, OH
Date: July 2025
Project Overview
Holgate High School contacted Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) to replace the entirety of its home-side bleacher seating ahead of the 2025 school year. Some of the seats had been worn out, others damaged, and FEC’s reputation for upgrades and modifications was well known to the district. The district knew that despite the bleachers being a competitor of FEC and, by association, its partners at Hussey Seating Company, FEC would certainly provide quality service for a large renovation project such as this.
After an initial site visit, layouts and proposals were drafted through the FEC Service Department along with final quotations for the work. The school confirmed FEC to handle this project quickly to ensure the project would be finished in its entirety before school in August.
The scope also included the removal of three tiers of seating to the visitors’ side, along with delivering all new seats with a custom Goldenrod seat color on the home side.
This unique project highlights the scope of services available to customers through FEC’s Service Department, and provided Holgate High School with a major facelift to the gymnasium ahead of the 2025 school year.
