Southeast University Nanjing Multi-Function Hall Retractable Seating Project Case
Project Overview

This customized seating project was delivered for the multi-function hall of Southeast University (Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China), a top-tier higher education institution. The venue needed flexible audience accommodation solutions to switch between conference, academic lecture, performance and large-scale event scenarios, and we provided a full set of retractable seating, retractable bleachers and telescopic tribune integrated design, manufacturing and installation service.
Our adopted retractable raked seating system perfectly fits the hall’s indoor space layout. When fully extended, it forms a clear stepped viewing gradient to guarantee unobstructed sightlines for every audience member; when not in use, the whole telescopic tribune can be fully folded and retracted to free up nearly all floor area, maximizing the usage flexibility of the multi-function hall.
Seat Product Details: SOLU Upholstered Custom Seats
The whole retractable bleachers are equipped with our exclusive SOLU soft upholstered seating model, with detailed humanized custom configurations:
- Built-in ergonomic armrests for long-time sitting comfort during all-day academic seminars and conferences;
- Foldable writing tablets attached to each seat, meeting note-taking needs for lectures, training and examinations;
- Decorative panels on seat backrests, matching the hall’s elegant wood-style interior decoration to upgrade the overall aesthetic texture of the venue.
The SOLU soft-pack seat uses wear-resistant thick sponge padding, with durable fabric wrapping, balancing long-term public usage durability and sitting comfort, which is widely favored in university auditoriums, college multi-purpose halls and educational venue projects globally.

System Advantages of Our Retractable Raked Seating
- Stable telescopic structure: The retractable seating adopts heavy-duty steel underframe with silent sliding tracks, ensuring smooth, low-noise expansion and retraction operation;
- Custom raked gradient: We tailored the stepped height of the retractable bleachers according to the hall’s depth, realizing optimal sightline design without extra construction work;
- Safety standardized design: Full-height protective railings are installed on the rear and side of each layer of the telescopic tribune, complying with international venue safety codes;
- Space-saving property: Compact folded thickness leaves abundant empty space for exhibitions, banquets and other diverse activities.

Project Value & Application Scenarios
After installation, the Southeast University multi-function hall’s retractable seating system has supported hundreds of academic conferences, student performances, public lectures and school ceremonies. The combination of telescopic tribune and SOLU upholstered seats solves the pain point of fixed auditorium seats being rigid and space-wasting, becoming a benchmark case of flexible venue renovation in China’s higher education sector.
Our retractable raked seating, retractable bleachers and retractable seating systems are widely applied in university auditoriums, school gymnasiums, community cultural centers, theater rehearsal halls and corporate multi-function halls around the world, with customizable seat materials, color schemes, accessory configurations and tribune dimensions for different project demands.c
