What distinguishes Virco from the other furniture providers

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

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 lead-

times than anyone else. And since we have in-house plating and

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.

Along with GREENGUARD® certifi cation and LEED®

points, Virco’s commitment to sustainability

includes our company-wide recycling program

that’s reprocessed more than 305,000,000 pounds

of materials since 1989. Our Take-Back program

enables educational institutions to recycle furniture

that’s been removed from service rather than

sending tons of reusable materials to landfi lls.

Virco’s recycling achievements have been recognized on many

occasions, most notably in 2003, when the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency chose us as a

charter member of their WasteWise Hall of Fame.

Virco serves you with a nationwide sales force.

Your Virco representative would be happy to provide you with

product samples and CAD layouts. We also partner with a

nationwide network of experienced full-service dealers.

Over 1,000,000 square feet of domestic warehouse space

enables Virco to stock a wider selection of competitively priced

furniture and equipment items. Selected models in this catalog

have a Quick Ship lead-time of 10 business days or less; most

other models have a standard shipping lead-time of 10 to 20

business days.

Personal attention, more product choices and better availability;

that’s what Virco service is all about. And if you’re faced with

a large-scale furniture and equipment purchasing project, our

complimentary, stress-free PlanSCAPE® service provides cost-

saving, on-time product solutions that are right for your campus.

For your convenience, we also serve you with three levels

of product delivery, including special inside delivery and

installation. To ship your order to you on time, our large fl eet

of company-operated vehicles delivers Virco products

from coast to coast. You can even order Virco furniture and

equipment online through our E-commerce website using

your U.S. Communities contract pricing; see page 103 for

more information.

Value isn’t always easy to defi ne. Ultimately, questions of value

are determined by personal experience. That’s why we invite

you to visit either of our factory/showroom locations – in

Torrance, California or Conway, Arkansas – to get an inside look

at why Virco is the education furniture industry’s value leader.

You’ll tour our facilities, “test ride” our furniture, and meet a

variety of people who work behind the scenes on our products.

Contact your Virco Representative to arrange a plant tour. We

look forward to your visit!

Students have a lot on their minds. Whether they’re arriving on

campus for the first time, preparing for mid-terms, or finishing

their last year of classes, it seems like there’s always too much to

think about, too much to do.

Given their busy schedules, most students don’t sit around

and discuss furniture. But like everyone else, they do have

expectations about the furniture they use.

Comfort is clearly a priority. Nobody wants to fidget or

constantly shift positions because their chair doesn’t feel right.

In this sense, well-designed furniture ought to be functionally

transparent – not calling attention to itself through discomfort

or fatigue – but instead leaving students free to focus on the

task at hand.

When it comes to style, they’re looking for

exciting colors, interesting design lines,

and a coordinated feel that ties together

the furniture in a given space. Now

that’s sweet!

Furniture that supports laptop use is

important to students. Tables that

provide power and data plug-ins

are a real plus. And if work

surfaces are large enough

to handle a laptop and

a text book together,

that’s even better!

Many students would give a thumbs-up to product diversity.

Campuses everywhere have big people, smaller people, and lots

of others in between. Furniture that accommodates different

body types – like adjustable-height seating, tables and desks,

as well as chairs with different sized shells – is furniture which

acknowledges the fact that everyone’s not the same.

Some students would appreciate furniture that’s recognizably

Green. They’d like to know if products have been certified

for indoor air quality. Do they contain recyclable materials,

or recycled-content? And what can you do, they might ask,

with old furniture items that won’t be used anymore – besides

sending them to a landfill – once new products arrive to take

their place?

Virco supports these student expectations. Our designer

furniture lines – like Sage™, ZUMA®, TEXT™, Metaphor® and I.Q.® –

combine exciting colors and styling with effective ergonomic

support and great product diversity. And not only are the

models in these and other Virco lines GREENGUARD® certified

for indoor air quality, they’re also recyclable at the end of their

useful life through Virco’s pioneering Take-Back program.

Another thing about Virco furniture; it’s made to last. That might

not be the most pressing consideration for your students, but

we know it’s important to you.

To fi nd the right furniture for your students and instructors, high-

quality product choices are essential. That’s why Virco off ers you

the complete spectrum of seating solutions pictured above.

All of Virco’s higher education seating lines combine ergonomic

contours for comfort and reliable construction for durability.

They’re available in a rainbow of colors to complement your

facility’s environments and a range of price points to stay within

your budget.

If you’re looking for chairs with an extra spacious seating area,

Sage™ models are excellent choices, as are Virtuoso® and I.Q.®

products. When a fully framed chair shell is important, Metaphor®

makes perfect sense. And if exceptional sustainability is a key

consideration, ZUMAfrd™ chairs with Fortifi ed Recycled Wood™

components contain up to 70% recycled-content material.

The decades of experience we’ve gained while producing our

extensive installed base of furniture items – including millions of

units from the product lines shown on page 108 – gave us a great

foundation for developing our higher education seating choices.

We’ve also had the privilege of working with highly talented

designers like Peter Glass, Bob Mills, Richard Holbrook and

Charles Perry.

Your Virco representative will be glad to provide you with

samples from our high-value furniture lines. That

Virtuoso®

Designed by sculptor Charles Perry, Virtuoso®

features a patented articulating back mechanism

that gently fl exes 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, offi ces and other on-

campus settings.

Virtuoso’s plastic seat and back colors give you the

fl exibility to complement a broad spectrum

of interior environments. Upholstered

Virtuoso chairs are also available in a

selection of standard or custom fabrics.

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 eff ective 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

fl exible, high-profi le 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.

ZUMA®

The confl icting 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 fi nancial:

supportive, stylish furniture often wasn’t aff ordable

within traditional budgets.

To say that ZUMA® balances these confl icts 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 fi gures for ZUMA models exceeded those of

any other new product line in Virco’s 60-

year 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 eff ectively 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 offi ces,

computer labs, and anywhere else that simple

operations, limited controls and adjustments,

and product durability are key considerations. For

a diff erent 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

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 compression-

molded furniture.

For decades, hard plastic furniture components

were restricted to simple linear designs due to the

limited fl ow characteristics of resin and wood-

particle blends. But with ZUMAfrd, Virco achieved

a breakthrough resulting in ergonomically

sculpted components with a diff erence you can

see and feel.

ZUMAfrd also has an environmental story. Thanks

to Virco’s exclusive Fortifi ed Recycled Wood™

hard plastic, ZUMAfrd items contains up to 70%

recycled material, depending on the model and

specifi cations. ZUMAfrd is also 98% recyclable at

the end of its long service life: only the

glides cannot be easily recycled.

USING FORTIFIED RECYCLED WOOD™

By combining proprietary chemistry with innovative mold design and process control, ZUMAfrd™ – which

features seats, backs and work surfaces made from Virco’s exclusive Fortified Recycled Wood™ hard plastic –

yields a new generation of compression-molded furniture with the following attributes:

ZUMAfrd contains up to 70% recycled material, depending on the model and specifications.

ZUMAfrd is 98% fabricated, recycled, and assembled in our own U.S. factories, both of which meet

the highest standards of environmental compliance and social equity.

ZUMAfrd is also 98% recyclable at the end of its long service life – only the glides cannot

be easily recycled.

Once processed, components of Fortified Recycled Wood are virtually inert, allowing them to meet

the most stringent standards for flame resistance and low emissions. They’ve also enabled all ZUMAfrd

models to earn the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified Mark® as products that meet the stringent

indoor air quality standard established by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute for children and schools.

Seats and backs are available in 23 exciting colors (see page 94).

intuitively supportive contours give students the

long-lasting comfort they deserve. Thanks to a

12-high truly vertical stack for easier movement

and storage, and the ability to nest individual

chairs upside-down on table tops, Metaphor chairs

enable quicker, easier classroom cleaning.

Introduced in 2007, Metaphor was conceived by

award-winning designers Peter Glass and Bob

CLASSROOM TABLES AND DESKS

Tables for higher learning facilities can vary dramatically from department to

department. For instance, something that’s perfect in a chemistry lab would

be totally wrong in most other settings. Virco’s table choices are tailored to

the diverse requirements of your campus.

Technology-ready TEXT™ and Plateau® tables complement classrooms and

offi ces where computers are used. For science labs, Virco models with

epoxy resin, Chemsurf® laminate, and powder coat tops give you a variety of

alternatives in a range of price points.

Student desks, like tables, often diff er widely within a given school or college.

Virco’s focused desk off erings include models from our TEXT, ZUMA® and

Sigma® collections that have the styling and the work surface space for higher

learning venues.

Diff erences between tables, and between desks, can be signifi cant. With

Virco’s selection of functional, durable, well-designed products, you’ve got

everything you need to make the right decisions.

Along with the tables and desks shown in this section, Virco stocks an array

of café tops & bases (p. 61) and mobile tables (p. 63) for food service areas, as

well as multi-use premium lightweight Core-a-Gator® folding tables (p. 65).

TEXT™ TablesIt’s not always easy to fi nd products that balance price, performance

and style. Tables for higher education environments provide a good

illustration. Contract-level models with expensive components –

like wood-veneer tops and specially cast, anodized aluminum

feet – can certainly fulfi ll aesthetic expectations, but they’re often

disappointing when it comes to durability, functionality and

aff ordability. By contrast, commodity-priced furniture simply

doesn’t meet the standards of performance and styling required

by discerning educational institutions.

But now, there’s a new Virco® furniture line that gives colleges

and universities just what they’ve been looking for. TEXT™ gets

the message!

Designed by the award-winning team of Peter Glass and Bob Mills –

who’ve collaborated with Virco on many successful product lines –

TEXT tables combine elliptical legs, swooping yokes and arched

feet for contract-level elegance with heavy-gauge tubular steel and

proven Virco construction for extended product life. Intelligently

conceived features and accessories enable TEXT to deliver perfectly

balanced furniture solutions.

Plateau® TablesTechnology-ready Plateau® Series tables bring versatile furniture

support to your campus. Conceived by designer Peter Glass,

Plateau’s rectangular, round, half-round and oval tops are

complemented by an array of wire management and power/

communication accessories.

Plateau’s leg design consists of a steel column fitted with a PVC

wire chase to help you more easily manage cables. Legs readily

attach to table tops by means of a die-cast aluminum connector,

as illustrated on page 48.

For libraries and related settings, Plateau lets you gang multiple

tops together with shared legs. By joining table tops in this way,

Plateau creates more room for people to stretch their own legs

beneath the table.

Optional Locking Casters for Plateau® TablesFor enhanced mobility, Plateau offers table models that are equipped with two locking, twin-wheel soft casters and 2 legs without casters. These “wheelbarrow” table models allow users to quickly rearrange tables for impromptu group meetings.

Virco’s PVC plastic wire chase routes cables from Plateau’s optional wire management/modesty panel to the floor. Flexible runners along each side allow power and communication lines to be easily inserted and organized.

Threaded inserts anchored into the table top make it easy to correctly position and attach each leg.

Every set of four Plateau® legs includes an Allen wrench for quick connections to tops. The wrench stores neatly in the connector’s specially designed pocket.

Five Plateau models are available with a "wheelbarrow" configuration for easy mobility .

With 20 top sizes, optional grommets and stylish, die-cast

surface widths range from 22” to 36” – while lengths start at 48”

and go up to 96” – it’s easy to fi nd two-person or four-person top

confi gurations that work in many diff erent learning environments.

Larger Lunada models also make great conference tables that

comfortably accommodate six people.

For an extra aesthetic accent, Lunada tables come with attractively

oversized adjustable glides. And practically speaking, the glides

permit Lunada tables to be leveled on uneven fl oors.

areas and multi-purpose environments. We also offer 8’ and 12’

rectangular tables, 60” octagonal tables, and an array of rectangular

models with attached bench or stool seating.

All Virco mobile tables are available with our premium Sure Edge®

finish. By sealing the top core between the table’s high-pressure

laminate surface and its backing sheet, the Sure Edge finish serves

as an effective moisture barrier. To coordinate with your décor,

Sure Edge comes in a rainbow of color choices.

Patented lightweight Core-a-Gator® folding tables combine

a rugged ABS plastic core and an extruded

aluminum frame for consistent, reliable

operation wherever you need them on campus.

And because Core-a-Gators are up to 40%

lighter than traditional folding tables, they offer

the speed you need to get things done ASAP.

The Core-a-Gator’s functional leg styles deliver an industry-

leading level of performance. Round tables with straight-leg

styling give you more room to stretch your own legs beneath the

top. Rectangular 18” wide Core-a-Gators come with space-saving

C-legs. Sturdy wishbone legs are standard on 24”, 30” and 36”

wide rectangular models. All rectangular models feature Virco’s

patented gravity lock; secure each Core-a-Gator’s pair of legs in

place, and in seconds you’re ready to put the table to work!

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-to-

side) 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.

A Look at Furniture Ergonomics

Virco Inc.90

91Virco Inc.

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

consult with an experienced furniture professional, such as a Virco

Representative, for more detailed information.

A Look at Furniture Ergonomics

Hundreds of Virco seating models, such as the Sage™ chair shown above, give you and your students the comfort and support of ergonomically contoured shells. Many Virco desks, including the ZUMA® model below, come with a generous work surface that easily accommodates a laptop and textbook.

Peter Glass

Peter Glass graduated

with a degree in Applied

Art and Design from Cal

Poly San Luis Obispo

in 1978. After further

studies at the Art Center College

of Design in Pasadena, California, Glass went on to work with Don Chadwick and

Associates, Herman Miller, Inc., and others on a variety of successful furniture

projects. Glass is the designer of Virco’s Plateau® and Lunada® products; other

furniture lines that he and Bob Mills have developed for Virco include the ZUMA®,

ZUMAfrd™, Sage™, Metaphor®, Telos®, TEXT™ and Parameter™ collections. “Because

Virco competes in a market that’s driven by price and performance, our projects

focus on designing functionally elegant furniture,” said Glass. “It’s always

a stimulating challenge to optimize strength, support and durability

with the most effi cient use of materials.”

Bob Mills

Bob Mills brings a practical, results-oriented approach

to strategic product development. His 15 years of

experience with furniture design ranges from attorney

and factory general manager to engineering VP, corporate

executive and, since 2003, principal of Hedgehog Design LLC. This

background has touched each step from design concept through fi eld

installation and customer satisfaction. “Blending comfort and style

with safety, durability and operational effi ciency helps maximize customer

value,” said Mills. “Using an integrated design approach, our goal is to create

innovative furniture tailored to Virco’s customers and Virco’s factories and

operations. These organic families of products ‘build’ together in the

factory, and work together in the fi eld.” Mills has collaborated with Peter

Glass on successful Virco product lines including ZUMA, ZUMAfrd, Sage, Metaphor,

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 large-

scale 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, hard-

working 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.”

Capabilities: What Virco Can Do for You!

Customer preferences for furniture and equipment have changed dramatically during Virco’s history. To keep pace with these

changes, Virco has developed the most comprehensive manufacturing, distribution and service capabilities in the classroom

furniture industry.

After beginning operations in 1950 with just one customer,

Virco has grown to become the leading maker and supplier of

furniture and equipment for K-12 schools. Over the years, we’ve

vertically integrated our manufacturing processes to ensure the

highest product quality and dependable on-time delivery. Unlike

manufacturers who closed their factories and moved operations

offshore in the late 1990s and subsequent years, we chose to

keep our domestic facilities intact.

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

As a valued Virco customer, Virco serves you with three

levels of product delivery, including special inside delivery

and installation. We also provide special services to dealers,

wholesalers, distributors and E-commerce vendors – who work

with us to bring our products to a variety of markets – and

who form another important group of Virco customers. You

can even order Virco furniture and equipment online through

our E-commerce website, www.virco.com; ask your Virco

representative for details!

Back in 1950, who would have thought of using a computer

to order classroom furniture? Clearly, customer needs and

preferences have changed since then, and Virco has kept pace

with these changes. And we’re not about to stop. Virco’s

capabilities will continually evolve in

response to your expectations.

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 long-

lasting 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.

103Virco Inc.

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 post-

consumer 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

ZUMAfrd - up to 70% recycled materials - 98% recyclable

104 Virco Inc.

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 San Francisco, CA

Betsy Layne High School Betsy Layne, KY

Franklin County Career & Technology Center Chambersburg, PA

Shippensburg Area School District Shippensburg, PA

Kent School District Kent, WA

Boulder Valley School District Bolder, CO

Along with our sustainable product development and recycling projects, Virco supports

important professional organizations for educators through our Stewardship initiative.

This includes Virco’s sponsorship of the State and National Assistant Principal of the Year

Program for the National Association of Secondary School Principals: our funding of the

National Principals Resource Center’s Speakers Bureau for the National Association of

Elementary School Principals; and our sponsorship of the Pinnacle Awards Program for

the Association of School Business Officials International.

is all about giving something back to the customers and communities that have

contributed to our success. It’s also about moving forward to help build a mutually

sustainable future.

Care & Use InstructionsNOTICE: 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 factory-authorized 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.

Guidelines for Stacking & Moving FurnitureThe 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.

ANSI/BIFMA TestedVirco’s Virtuoso®, 8900 and 8800 Series chairs; model 2018, 264517, 264617, 4300, 4301, 9018 N918, SG418, SG419, SGCANT18, ZU418 and ZCANT18 chairs; TEXT™, 6000, 6100 (Core-a-Gator®) and 62000 Series tables; and Parameter™ desks, credenzas and returns included in this catalog have passed applicable performance tests for strength, durability, and stability as established by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association International and accepted by the American National Standards Institute.
