High Grades for Temporary Gym Solution

Newark Public Schools
Newark, NJ

Challenge

The gymnasium roof at University High School in New Jersey’s largest school district was damaged and there was no place to conduct physical education classes.  Among other disruptions was the threat of delayed senior class graduation.  A working gym was needed…and fast.

Signature Solution

Although temporary structures are not our core discipline, we knew we could help.  Teaming with a regional partner, Signature delivered with an aluminum framed structure—complete two basketball courts and phys ed class areas—installed in a parking lot on the school’s campus. Turnaround: two weeks.

Result

Senior graduation was saved and the district’s leadership gave high grades to Signature Structures for resourceful thinking and fast action.
