The backrest of this steel bench is a changeable sign board that can be used in many different and beneficial ways — promote a school event, recognize an academic or athletic achievement, thank a donor or instructor, promote school spirit and district programs.The bench serves as an ideal tool to generate revenue by selling the sign space on the back as school sponsorships. Do it all with the new Model B400 Sign Bench from R.J. Thomas Mfg. Co.

The best news is, you can change the signage as often as you want. Seasonal signs can be saved and reused again. The backrest sign is a durable .040 gauge aluminum laminate with a ¼-inch polycarbonite core. Your School or custom graphic will be digitally printed on 3M vinyl material.

The all-steel bench is powder coated and thermoplastic coated in your color choice. Behind the custom sign is a supporting piece of ¾-inch marine grade plywood.

The backrest includes a lockable frame to secure your custom signage. Three bench and sign sizes are available – 4-, 6- or 8-feet long. All signs are 24-inches tall.

  • Rethinking K-12 Schools as a Continuous Learning Experience

    Most students move through three or more separate facilities during their K-12 journey, yet the built environments they encounter at each stage have traditionally been designed in isolation, with little continuity in spatial language, learning philosophy, or physical resources. Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
