Dayton, OH – A Brodart furniture installation was recently featured on the April cover of School Planning & Management, an information resource magazine for construction, facilities, business, and technology professionals serving the K-12 market.

The installation was completed at Whitmore Lake High School in Whitmore Lake, MI, and included Epoch Collection reading tables, computer carrels, and shelving. The project was installed by Dew-El Corporation, a Brodart Dealer located in Holland, MI.

Dew-El was chosen by the Whitmore school board and project architects because of their ability to provide high-quality contemporary furniture. The fact that the school was able to customize their furniture options was also a plus, as was the availability of LEEDS through Brodart.

LEEDS refers to a whole building approach that promotes performance in human and environmental health. The focus of the April School Planning & Management issue was “Going Green”, and highlighted the growing number of schools choosing to build in an environmentally friendly manner.
