Elevating the Student & Visitor Experience: Cassia and Capri for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

First impressions are everything on a campus as prestigious as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Whether it’s a prospective student visiting an admissions office, a donor arriving at a departmental lobby, or a student heading into a high-traffic administrative center, the reception area sets the tone for the entire Husker experience.

As an Indoff Partner right here in Lincoln, I specialize in furniture solutions that bridge the gap between “modern academic aesthetic” and “campus-ready durability.” For UNL reception areas, the combination of Stance Healthcare’s Cassia seating and Capri tables is a game-changer.

 

Cassia Seating: Modern Lines for a “Big Ten” Environment

The Cassia collection brings a clean, contemporary profile that complements UNL’s mix of historic and cutting-edge architecture. But beyond the style, it is engineered for the rigors of a major university:

• Husker-Strength Durability: With a 14-gauge steel framework, Cassia is built to withstand the constant “sit and stand” cycle of a busy campus reception. It offers long-term structural integrity that standard commercial furniture simply can’t match.

• Invisible Maintenance: Campus cleanliness is a top priority. Cassia’s concealed clean-out space allows staff to sanitize seating quickly and thoroughly without ruining the chair’s sleek lines.

• Customizable for Every Department: Whether you need the warmth of wood arm caps for a dean’s office or high-durability polyurethane for a student union, Cassia offers the finishes and contrasting fabrics needed to represent your specific college’s brand.

Capri Tables: Functional Design That Connects

To complete the look, the Capri table offers a sleek, tapered base that avoids the “heavy” look of traditional drum tables, keeping your reception area feeling open and airy.

• Integrated Power for Students: Today’s students are always on their devices. Capri tables can be customized with built-in power and USB receptacles, allowing visitors to charge phones or laptops while they wait for their appointments.

• Built to Last: The high-pressure laminate or solid surface tops are designed to resist scratches and handle heavy-duty cleaning agents. Plus, the steel bottom plate protects the base from vacuum cleaners and heavy foot traffic.

• Tamper-Resistant Features: On a college campus, furniture needs to stay put and stay intact. Capri’s glides are tamper-resistant and non-removable, ensuring your investment remains exactly where you designed it to be.
