6 About TSI Theatre Solutions, Inc. (TSI) designs and produces distinctive and durable fixed seating. We are committed to providing the highest quality fixed seating and associated services in the world. Quality, aesthetics, comfort and flexibility make TSI fixed seating the preferred choice for any building type. In addition to the advantages of our products, the attention TSI gives to every detail through each phase of the project makes us a valued ally to the architect, theater consultant, or building owner. The Herman Miller Alliance Theatre Solutions has entered into a formal alliance with Herman Miller, Inc., a recognized pioneer and global provider of office furniture since The collaboration unites the award-winning design and ergonomics of Herman Miller s Aeron and Equa 2 chairs with fixed training tables from TSI. Theatre Solutions maintains its established high level of service to include layout and design, project management, and product installation. The Lecture Seating Series Fixed training tables and seating lend security and order to the lecture environment. In this context, the term fixed seating refers to the permanent layout of seating within a space, where a steel mechanism suspends the chair uppers while also securing the worksurface to the floor. The advantages of such an arrangement are numerous: it provides for an ample worksurface area with optional power/data access; it silently returns unoccupied chairs to a forward-facing rest position; it eliminates chair theft; and it clears the floor of obstacles for ease of cleaning. Configurations are custom manufactured to meet each room s layout requirements. Worksurfaces are available in a variety of high-pressure laminates and edge details. TSI offers three seat uppers in the Lecture Seating series: TSI s Forum A fully-upholstered chair with an inner shell that incorporates a waterfall front edge and lumbar support. Available both with and without arms, as well as an optional tilt mechanism. Herman Miller s Aeron Revolutionizing the world of ergonomic seating, this state-of-the-art design allows the body to pivot naturally and simultaneously at the ankles, knees, and hips for smooth, proper support in any seated position. Available both with and without arms. Herman Miller s Equa 2 Originally designed as a high performance office chair, the seat and back of the onepiece shell flex independently providing passive support for users as they shift body position. Available both with and without arms. The Jury Base Seating Series TSI offers four models of pedestal based seating that address the unique needs of the courtroom. All provide modern styling, advanced ergonomics, swivel & return capability, and optional tilt functions.

11 Planning Information Theatre Solutions offers a variety of services designed to help in the planning and successful completion of any project requiring the use of fixed seating. Our services include analyzing proposed architectural plans and developing a seating layout that best meets the project criteria. We will assist in resolving issues related to code compliance and sight line development. All TSI preliminary services are free to architects and potential customers. Further assistance is offered at those times when the architect has a need for custom components or a totally new product concept. The TSI team of experienced product designers welcomes the opportunity to assist designers in developing solutions to the most unique project requirements. Program/Schematic Design Based on the estimated project requirements, we will assist architects in the development of a preliminary budget covering the fixed seating. This will ensure the establishment of a project budget that includes adequate funding for the product that meets the architect s requirements. Design Development During this critical phase of the project, we will assist the architect in the development of preliminary chair layout drawings, taking into consideration proper sightlines and code compliance. In many cases, the layout drawings must be perfected through several submissions. Special product requirements and possible solutions will be offered at this time. TSI will develop preliminary fixed seating specifications, which will be submitted to the architect for review and possible modifications. By solving design and specifications problems in greater detail during this phase of the work, the architect is able to simplify project documentation and avoid potentially costly oversights. Custom Designs TSI s staff includes experienced product designers who are capable of creating custom products and components which may be required to address unique project specifications. Additionally, TSI enjoys greater flexibility in production as a result of our diverse manufacturing and supply infrastructure. When SOM (Chicago) Architects, Chang Jo Architects, and Artec Consultants determined the construction design for the LG Arts Center in Seoul, South Korea, they knew they wanted a finished wood surface on the face of all risers. With structural and acoustic considerations in mind, the final design included a build-out of more than 2 from the structural concrete. TSI developed a unique riser mount connection that provided excellent strength, ease of installation, and elegant design. During the construction of the Kodak Theater, the home of the Academy Awards, architect David Rockwell and theater consultants, Theatre Projects Consultants, requested that TSI be responsible for developing cast glass sculptures for the end panels of the chairs and for the wall panels. In response, TSI identified and commissioned the services of a glass artist capable of producing the required complicated molds necessary to cast these beautiful sculptures. These unique glass sculptures, which are back lit, can be seen in the custom end panels of the chairs and in the panels located on the walls of the room. Construction Documents As the architectural working drawings are finalized, TSI will update the chair layout and produce drawings to reflect all changes implemented since the preliminary documentation. TSI will also finalize the seating specifications in any format required by the architect to insure consistency with the rest of the contract documents. This will allow the architect to include the specifications and drawings in the construction documents without further work. Project Management Every project awarded to TSI, regardless of size, will be assigned to a dedicated project manager who ensures that every detail of the contract receives full attention. The shop drawing submission will be completed in accordance to the project requirements and will take into consideration every detail unique to the project. It will include the exact location of every chair and table, installation details, the selected fabric and other appropriate details and options that are included in the contract. Once the shop drawing submittal is approved, TSI will schedule the production of the order in coordination with the project schedule. If the installation is included in TSI s contract, it will always be accomplished by a factory-trained installer and, in cases where necessary, under the supervision of TSI factory representatives. Every portion of this work will be accomplished under the direct supervision of one or more of the TSI principals who, along with the project manager, will always be available to clarify any questions or discuss any aspect of the project with the project leaders. The TSI design staff is anxious to work with you on your next lecture project. 10 Planning, Installation & Specification Manual Lecture Seating
