Audience Systems helped Ongar Academy to elevate their school hall to become a truly multipurpose space as part of the ongoing drive to upgrade facilities at the school. “We were looking to showcase the school hall, and turn it into a mini theatre,” says Michael Hammond, Site Manager at the Academy. The tiered seating is a real step up from the folding chairs that the school had previously laid out in the hall for assemblies and events, reducing set up time and providing far superior views and comfort.

Audience Systems designed a retractable seating system for the hall that closes at the touch of a button, fitted with smart and practical Centura seats.

“The seats are really nice and comfortable, and the seating does what it says on the tin,” says Michael Hammond. “And working with Audience Systems was flawless – everything went well.”
