End Customer: Holmes Center for the Arts
Location: Millersburg, OH
Completion Date: Early 2025
Project Overview
The Holmes Center for the Arts aims to provide educational and performing opportunities for students throughout the Millersburg area. In 2020, the center began fundraising for a new performing arts center, which ran into budgetary concerns. A few years later, the center approached Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) to assist with design and pricing on retractable theater seating in the lower level of the new arts center. Construction eventually took place in late 2023, with FEC being awarded the seating scope.
The design of the performing arts center was an excellent application for a free-standing telescopic unit from Hussey Seating Company, with high-end Gallery 3 chairs mounted to the platform. The owner was thrilled with the professionalism and design layouts FEC provided to create a unique layout for the center. This became a great project to highlight the capabilities a customer has when working with FEC on a performing arts center.
