End Customer: Field Local Schools
Location: Mogadore, OH
Date: Summer 2025
Project Overview
Field High School reached out to Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) for options to make upgrades on its existing high school home grandstands. After much deliberation and multiple options, the school opted for a scope to include a new crosswalk deck with ADA seating, a handicap ramp, a vomitory exit, and two stairs to upgrade the existing stadium bleachers.
The current walkway and handicap ramp were constructed from wood, something the district was eager to improve upon for safety and ADA compliance. FEC’s Service Department handled this project from start to finish with precision and professionalism, providing Field High School with upgrades to their stadium grandstands ahead of the 2025 season.
This project exemplified the ongoing relationship built between FEC and its customers. It was a great compliment that the work performed by the FEC service department over the past decade made the school confident in handling a large upgrade project such as this.
