Why Virco?

hat distinguishes Virco from the other furniture providers
competing for your business? In a word: value. Virco offers you the industry’s best combination of style, sustainability, selection and service for your money. Long-standing partnerships with award-winning designers give our furniture an elegant stylistic feel. Take a look at Virtuoso® by Charles Perry, I.Q.® and Ph.D.® by Richard Holbrook, and ZUMA®, ZUMAfrd™, Sage™, TEXT™ and Parameter™ by Peter Glass and Bob Mills. All of these product lines achieve an optimum balance of enduring visual flair and reliable, high-function performance. Rather than relying on overseas supply chains, Virco molds all soft plastic chair shells in our own domestic factories. Along with better pricing and quality control, this lets us give you a wider range of plastic colors – more than two dozen soft plastic standard colors, and even more custom colors – with faster leadtimes than anyone else. And since we have in-house plating and powder-coat painting capabilities, we can offer you a rainbow of frame finish choices. Virco products give you excellent ergonomic benefits. Because ergonomics now plays a key role in many furniture purchasing decisions, page 90 of this catalog features an essay that’s dedicated to this subject. Our GREENGUARD® certified product selection includes hundreds of chairs, desks, tables and related furniture items for your campus. Virco’s ZUMA and ZUMAfrd lines were the first furniture collections to earn GREENGUARD for Children and Schools program certification for indoor air quality (IAQ). We’re proud of our pioneering IAQ certification, and we’re happy that other furniture manufacturers are now working with GREENGUARD through this program. When it comes to LEED® certification, Virco furniture can help you earn points through the LEED for Schools or LEED for New

Virtuoso
®
Designed by sculptor Charles Perry, Virtuoso® features a patented articulating back mechanism that gently flexes to accommodate your position in the chair. “The Virtuoso is a quiet chair,” said Perry. “Unobtrusive; stately – if you will – not at all jazzy. Virtuoso is intended to stay in the background and quietly let the rest of the ambience blossom.” Its tubular steel frame, buttressed by 7/16” solid steel rods and two underseat cross braces, makes Virtuoso more than tough enough for classrooms, libraries, auditoriums, offices and other oncampus settings. Virtuoso’s plastic seat and back colors give you the flexibility to complement a broad spectrum of interior environments. Upholstered Virtuoso chairs are also available in a selection of standard or custom fabrics. plastic colors

Sage
™
Higher education settings provide students with the skills to attain their career goals. As they put in long hours to earn their degrees, Virco’s Sage™ Series furniture, designed by Peter Glass and Bob Mills, gives students effective ergonomic support for lasting comfort. With a generously sculpted chair shell, Sage enables better seating load distribution for less fatigue, greater comfort and enhanced circulation. A flexible, high-profile backrest with raised contours provides a smoother “ride” when leaning back in the chair. Aesthetically, the Sage Series unites understated contours, an elegantly dimpled backrest and a gently rolled perimeter for a balanced sense of style. plastic colors

ZUMA
®
The conflicting forces of education furniture have been comfort, ergonomics, technology support and style on one side, versus unremitting budget pressures on the other. Everyone acknowledges that technology has transformed our learning environments. Most agree that students deserve the same ergonomic considerations as workers, for whom appropriate seating is often mandated by law. The trade-off has typically been financial: supportive, stylish furniture often wasn’t affordable within traditional budgets. To say that ZUMA® balances these conflicts and achieves a point of rest is a bold claim. There are many such claims in the marketplace and most of us are immune to them. Nevertheless, initial-year sales figures for ZUMA models exceeded those of any other new product line in Virco’s 60year history. And ever since, ZUMA has continued to grow in popularity.

I.Q.
®
Virco collaborated with internationally renowned designer Richard Holbrook to develop the I.Q.® furniture line. Grounded in Holbrook’s extensive research and observation of college and university classroom settings throughout the nation, I.Q. was honored with a Best of NeoCon® Gold Award at America’s most prestigious furniture trade show. Unlike typical educational seating of past generations, all I.Q. chair models feature a gentle lumbar curve to more effectively support the lower back. In addition, I.Q.’s concave shell design more fully conforms to the human body’s natural contours. With a waterfall front that’s easier on your legs and a spacious seat for a wider range of movement in the chair, I.Q. delivers sustained comfort.

Ph.D.
®
Richard Holbrook’s Ph.D.® chairs feature an intuitive “duolink” suspension for synchronized seat and back movement in an elegant, yet rugged mechanism. Thanks to their sleek, yet sturdy design, Ph.D. models are great for offices, computer labs, and anywhere else that simple operations, limited controls and adjustments, and product durability are key considerations. For a different look and feel, Ph.D. Executive Series models have a nuanced rectangular backrest. If you prefer chairs that have a traditional upholstered seat with comfortable high-density foam padding, models are available with three attractive standard fabrics. Other models are equipped with contoured, padded arms.

ZUMAfrd
™
Proprietary chemistry, innovative mold design and advanced process control enable ZUMAfrd™ to transcend hard plastic’s long-standing limitations to yield a new generation of compressionmolded furniture. For decades, hard plastic furniture components were restricted to simple linear designs due to the limited flow characteristics of resin and woodparticle blends. But with ZUMAfrd, Virco achieved a breakthrough resulting in ergonomically sculpted components with a difference you can see and feel. ZUMAfrd also has an environmental story. Thanks to Virco’s exclusive Fortified Recycled Wood™ hard plastic, ZUMAfrd items contains up to 70% recycled material, depending on the model and specifications. ZUMAfrd is also 98% recyclable at the end of its long service life: only the glides cannot be easily recycled. hard plastic colors

A Look at Furniture Ergonomics Before purchasing furniture for your campus, it’s important to evaluate the ergonomic aspects of the products you’re considering. Here are a few tips that should be helpful. Adjustable-height chairs provide ergonomically supportive seating that works for students with a wide range of body sizes. In addition, a well designed chair seat should be wide and deep enough to comfortably support the thighs. It should also have rounded corners, smooth edges, and a waterfall seat front to prevent unnecessary “edge pressure”. When it’s not possible to provide adjustable-height seating in every classroom, chairs with a variety of fixed seat heights will help to accommodate the height range of your student population. For taller and larger students, chairs with a more generously proportioned shell and a larger, wider back offer enhanced support and longer-lasting comfort. For a chair to be effectively supportive, its back must be carefully designed. Ideally, chair backs should be slightly reclined, tall and wide enough to provide support, and have a transversely (side-toside) concave shape. Chairs with a one-piece seat and back should have a gentle lumbar contour. For chairs with a two-piece seat and back, the contours of these components should comfortably encourage good seating posture.

Quality classroom tables and desks will have similar ergonomic features. For instance, models with adjustable-height work surfaces allow tops to be set at a level that’s comfortable for students, whether they’re writing in notebooks or working on computers. Tables and desks should offer adequate leg and thigh clearance, allowing students to easily access their seats. Work surfaces should be spacious enough to hold frequently used materials; that’s especially significant where laptops and textbooks are often used together. It’s also important that work surfaces be finished with smooth, rounded edges. On a more general note, all classroom furniture should have excellent structural strength, durability and stability. This will enable the furniture’s more specific ergonomic features to provide long-lasting service. These tips offer a broad outline of what to look for in ergonomically supportive chairs and desks. Because individual applications may vary – particularly when evaluating furniture needs for diverse on-campus settings, such as seminar rooms, tech labs, lecture halls, traditional classrooms, and libraries – you may want to

Richard Holbrook Through extensive work with international clients, Richard Holbrook approaches furniture design as a balance of form and function. “The wonderful thing about designing furniture,” said Holbrook, “and especially seating, is that while a chair should certainly possess a unique visual identity - a ‘style’ - chairs are fundamentally very practical, physical products. With what other products do you have so much actual contact? That’s why the shapes, materials, finishes, movement and appearance are inseparable elements of any chair design. If all these aspects work together in balance and harmony, a chair becomes more than just a piece of ‘furniture’.” Fittingly, both Holbrook’s I.Q.® and Ph.D.® Series seating collections achieve this harmonious balance.

Charles Perry Charles Perry’s initial career direction in architecture eventually gave way to a life-long commitment to largescale public sculpture. Of approximately 85 monumental sculptures around the world, Perry’s most prominent is “Continuum,” located at the entrance to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Furniture design is another of Perry’s vocations. His Virtuoso® Series combines the convenience of a versatile, hardworking stack chair with the comfort of a patented, articulating back. “The Virtuoso is a ‘quiet’ chair,” said Perry, “Unobtrusive; stately - if you will - not at all jazzy. Virtuoso is intended to stay in the background and quietly let the rest of the ambience blossom.” Virtuoso Series

Manufacturing and distribution operations are still going strong at our 560,000 square-foot Torrance, California location and in Conway, Arkansas, where we have more than 1,750,000 sq. ft. of space. These state-of-the-art domestic facilities give Virco customers advantages that other manufacturers simply can’t match. For instance, we purchase our own steel coils, and then manufacture our own tubular steel and stamped steel components. This enables Virco to produce these items more economically than manufacturers who buy pre-fabricated components at higher prices from other sources. Moreover, making our own steel components enables Virco to exercise direct quality control throughout the manufacturing process; manufacturers who use pre-fabricated components have to rely on their vendors to maintain quality standards. For customers, Virco’s in-house steel component operations translate into lower prices and higher, more reliable product quality. Virco’s soft plastic and hard plastic manufacturing capabilities give you more great advantages. We mold all of our own soft plastic chair shells and hard plastic seats, backs and work surfaces. Along with better pricing and quality control, in-house molding lets us give you a wider range of plastic colors for school furniture products – up to 29 soft plastic and 23 hard plastic colors, and even more custom colors – with faster lead-times than anyone else. Virco’s distribution capabilities provide you with further benefits. Over 1,000,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space in Conway and Torrance enable us to stock a wider selection of furniture and equipment items. For you, that means Quick Ship (shipment in 10 business days or less) availability – not just for a handful of items in a single color – but for 100s of models in multiple colors. And when you add our selection of standard shipping lead-time items (20 business days or less) into the equation, 1000s of models in multiple colors are ready for you to order. To get your order to you on time, our large fleet of company-operated vehicles delivers Virco products from coast to coast. With the classroom furniture industry’s only direct sales force, service is a Virco specialty. Your Virco representative would be happy to provide you with product samples and CAD layouts; and if you’re faced with a major FF&E purchase as part of a new construction or renovation project – or for any other reason – your Virco

Virco Stewardship: An Ongoing Commitment In one sense, the Virco Stewardship initiative can trace its origins to February of 1950 when we begin working with America's schools as a newly established company. Although terms like "sustainability" and "sustainable business practices" weren't commonly used back then, they accurately describe the vision that inspired Virco's founder, Julian Virtue, to develop longlasting classroom furniture. As a result, Virco has grown from a small southern California business with a single customer into one of the country's largest manufacturers of furniture for the K-12, college and university, and higher learning markets. Another pivotal year in our Stewardship initiative’s history was 1989. That’s when our manufacturing facility in Conway, Arkansas, started its recycling and resource recovery program. Beginning with hydraulic oil, office paper and scrap metal, Virco’s corporate-wide recycling efforts now include more than 40 items, ranging from plastics and wood dust to cell phones and computer hardware. Over the years, we’ve recycled more than 305,000,000 pounds of materials, and we’re still looking for new ways to remove even more items from our waste stream. The success of our recycling activities led to the development of Virco’s “Cash for Cardboard” program in 1993. Through this community service initiative, we recycle cardboard for 35 schools in 7 districts near our Conway facility; we also build recycling bins for the schools to collect their cardboard. After Virco picks up their cardboard for processing, the proceeds are returned to the schools; to date, we’ve helped these schools earn more than $100,000 through recycling. In 1994, we took another step forward by becoming a partner in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s WasteWise Program, which was founded to help businesses, government agencies and other organizations throughout the country evaluate and attain their recycling goals; for instance, by providing a Climate Profile, which informatively illustrates the recycling accomplishments of WasteWise partners. Nine years later, in 2003, our partnership entered a new phase when Virco was selected as one of three charter members of the WasteWise Hall of Fame. Virco’s commitment to sustainability through recycling is mirrored in our recent new product introductions. Leading-edge furniture lines such as ZUMA®, ZUMAfrd™ and I.Q.® have received five coveted Best of NeoCon® Awards at America’s premier contract furniture trade show. We’re continually looking for new ways to incorporate sustainable design elements – including recycled and recyclable materials, ergonomic benefits and superior service life – into Virco furniture for schools, colleges, and other environments. In fact, our Telos® and ZUMAfrd collections feature components made from flame-proof, colorfast, scratch-resistant – and environmentally responsible – Fortified Recycled Wood™. In 2005, ZUMA and ZUMAfrd became the first classroom furniture product lines from any manufacturer to earn GREENGUARD® indoor air quality certification through the GREENGUARD for Children and Schools program. And thanks to subsequent collaboration between Virco and GREENGUARD, hundreds of additional Virco classroom furniture models have earned this important certification. We’re proud to offer you these low-emitting products – identified in this catalog with Virco’s GREENGUARD certified logo – and we’re delighted that other classroom furniture manufacturers have also begun working with GREENGUARD.

If you’re involved with a school construction project that’s working to achieve CHPS certification, you’ll be happy to know that Virco’s GREENGUARD® certified products for schools are listed on the CHPS Low-Emitting Materials Table. And if you’re part of a project team that’s targeting LEED® certification for a new or renovated facility, Virco products can help you earn LEED points. In 2006, Virco introduced the classroom furniture industry’s first Take-Back program, which gives schools the ability to recycle furniture that’s been withdrawn from service rather than sending it to a landfill. Through our Take-Back program, Virco accepts plastic chair shells, laminated wood work surfaces and compression-molded hard plastic seats, backs and work surfaces – regardless of manufacturer – for recycling from qualifying schools, districts, colleges and universities. We can also help them find local metal recyclers to dispose of steel frames from furniture that’s no longer in use. We at Virco started our Take-Back program because the vast majority of recyclers won’t accept plastic chair shells, laminated work surfaces and compression-molded hard plastic components. Take-Back provides educational institutions with a unique way to recycle these items, resulting in greater resource conservation and a decreased strain on our nation’s landfills. And because Virco strongly encourages student participation in a Take-Back project whenever possible, the program offers great learning opportunities for students to grow in their appreciation of recycling’s value. Take-Back has another great aspect. Because items retrieved through the program can be introduced into the Fortified Recycled Wood™ ingredient mix for Telos® and ZUMAfrd™ products, these models can help to “close the loop” by utilizing postconsumer recycled materials from schools that would otherwise be discarded. Virco’s partnership with Palmyra Area High School in Pennsylvania proved to be a remarkably successful Take-Back project. The first stage of this project, which took place during the school’s 2006 winter break, involved 59 volunteer students, four high school staff members, two district maintenance employees, school principal Dr. Kelly Harbaugh, and the local Virco

representative. The group disassembled furniture from 16 classrooms – including approximately 500 chairs and desks, and 32 tables – in 100 minutes. Scrap metal alone from this phase weighed more than 6.5 tons. The second stage, completed in August 2007, achieved similarly impressive results. Along with Palmyra Area High School, the following institutions have also partnered with Virco on successful Take-Back projects: The City College of San Francisco

Limited Warranty Virco warrants that it’s products shall be free of all substantial defects in original material and workmanship that may become evident within ten (10) years from the date of purchase and (5) years from date of purchase on torsion bars. This limited warranty does not cover apparent defects caused by abusive or abnormal use of the product, or failures resulting from inadequate inspection and maintenance. Virco may repair or replace, at its option, any portion of the subject product which proves to be defective under the terms of this limited warranty at no further cost to the buyer. THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY, AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES BEYOND THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSED HERE. Virco shall be liable under this limited warranty only for the cost or, at its option, the repair or replacement of defective products. All incidental or consequential damages which may arise, including but not limited to business losses, personal property damage, and third party liabilities are hereby expressly excluded.

Service Life Recommendation In order to extend the torque life of mobile bench and stool tables with torsion bars, Virco recommends that customers store their tables in an upright position when not in use.
Guidelines for Stacking & Moving Furniture The number of pieces of furniture that can be safely stacked or moved on Virco’s mobile storage equipment will vary depending on many factors, including the furniture’s height, weight and general design; the speed at which the unit will be moved; the terrain over which it will travel; and the strength of the operator(s). Care should be taken not stack to the point of unsteadiness. Virco recommends starting with small, easily handled loads and adding one to two pieces of furniture at a time to determine the safe capacity for each set of conditions. Use Virco mobile storage equipment with appropriate Virco furniture only.
Care & Use Instructions NOTICE: To prevent structural failures and possible injury, furniture should not be used other than for its intended purpose and should be inspected regularly for loose or missing screws or rivets, metal fatigue, cracks, broken welds, missing attachments, loose staples, and general instability. Furniture that is damaged or appears to be unstable should immediately be removed from service, reported to the facility manager, and replaced or repaired. Repairs should only be made using factoryauthorized parts and methods. For information on furniture maintenance, or to report furniture which requires service, call Virco toll-free at 1-800-448-4726. Furniture should be wiped down with mild soap and water as needed.
