End Customer: Bethel Local Schools
Location: Tipp City, OH
Date: Fall 2024
Project Overview
Bethel Local Schools is a growing school district, and their athletics department had experienced the impacts. With several capital improvement projects coming down the pipeline, they saw a need to upgrade the existing visitor grandstands ahead of the 2024 season. The district reached out to Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) to assist with design layout and budgetary pricing. The district eventually put the project out for public bid, providing FEC the opportunity to provide a turn-key solution for the school. FEC was awarded the contract to handle the installation of new visitor bleachers through National Recreation Systems (NRS) to ensure the school kept up with its growing numbers. The school district did not have any existing bleachers for visitors, so this additional seating set them up for their growing future.
