Higher Education Solutions Providing a safe and attractive student housing experience or the furniture and structure for campus staff is challenging; doing it on a budget can be daunting. For 50 years, Indoff has delivered solutions to our customers – in the form of the proper furniture, the appropriate storage rack, the right appliance. We can do this for two reasons: • Selection & Cost: We can provide the procurement team the ability to compare shop, achieve consistent cost and streamline orders. We maintain relationships with hundreds of manufacturers, wholesalers, and service providers so that we can find the right product for any situation. We will not try and sell you a product simply because it is what “happens to be in stock.”

• Service: We can assist the maintenance team with knowledgeable experts who can go on site (or zoom) to understand the requirement(s) so that they can objectively recommend the best solution.

We can assist Housing Directors with guiding the procurement process and achieving consensus for purchase decisions.

We provide furniture, appliances, lighting, supplies and more – your local Indoff Sales Partner can help you with it all.

Who We Are Indoff is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. We have developed solutions for our customers for the past 50 years. Today our divisions are capable of fulfilling almost any need a business may have. Our customers work in every industry imaginable – distribution, healthcare, education, legal, engineering, manufacturing, and more.

Indoff is not a traditional business where we warehouse large quantities of product. Our Partners work to make sure that what you need is based on your requirements and not ours.

We combine the financial strength of a $175 million-plus distributor with the talents, expertise, and local service of hundreds of sales professionals. Our Sales Partners are indeed our Partners – they are empowered to manage their relationships and make local decisions regarding pricing and product selection.

Seating Options For Productivity More educators are beginning to understand the importance of ergonomics in a learning environment. Colleges and universities are now focusing more of their attention on their environments in order help students to get the most of their academic experience.

The role ergonomics plays when it comes to correctly sizing chairs and desks and choosing furniture that promotes healthy positions and allows movement.

Traditional seating often has a backward incline, causing rounding of the back, tense shoulder, back, and neck muscles, constriction of the digestive organs, lack of blood circulation, and forces the spinal cord to be pressed to one side. Ergonomic solutions include a rocking mechanism in chairs as well as the ability to swivel in order to change seat inclination.

Students and staff work best in a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment, and ergonomics play an important factor in these needs.

Combining ergonomics with any academic setting is necessary in order to support a productive work environment.

Indoff offers a wide selection of seating options for a multitude of locations including cafeterias, libraries, lounges, private offices, conference rooms, and much more.

Work The Way You Want

Everyone is unique and its an important fact to remember when picking desks. Ergonomics plays a big role when it comes to focus and productivity as well as improve health and safety.

According to the most recent ANSI/BIFMA anthropometric studies, the average female in the U.S. workforce is 5’ 4” and requires a work surface height of 24.5” when seated and 41.3” when standing.

The average male is 5’ 10” and requires a work surface height of 26.5” when seated and 44.8” when standing. These people are considered the 50th percentile of the workforce. The ability to meet the diverse needs of the average worker, not to mention the extremes of the shortest and tallest workers (known as the 5th to 95th percentile), can only be achieved with adjustable height desks that adjust from 22.5” to 48.5”.

Your New Private Office In another recent study, 95% percent of respondents said being able to work privately was important.

The feedback showed that employees felt more productive when less distracted by the sight and sound of co-workers. Even when co-workers could still be heard, respondents shared that having walls around their work area helped with concentration and speed of work. Furthermore, employees sometimes require private conversations and do not want to make a public display of such by going to a conference room.

Indoff carries all the solutions needed for the private office space within a floor plan; high quality and ergonomically correct case goods, bookshelves, disaster proof filing cabinets, wall art, seating, tables, and much more.

Dividers are more important than ever in the world of education. Not only do they deter cheating and increase privacy but they also act as physical barrier that can help to enforce the 6-foot social distancing guidelines as well as stop infectious droplets from traveling very far. This is particularly true of locations such as the library, university store, cafeteria, and computer labs.

Screens come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and colors so that you always have the best option available for any situation. We offer stand alone solutions that can be moved around the room as needed or more permanent solutions that can be attached to your existing tables and chairs. Whether you’re looking for permanent solutions, temporary fixes, or more design oriented solutions, we carry a product that can fit your need!

Personal Protective Equipment

When it comes to sanitation you can never be too careful. COVID-19 will not be the last virus we face. As populations continue to grow, cities become denser, and we continue to invade wildlife biomes, scientists agree that it’s only a matter of time before another pandemic pops up. With Indoff’s wide selection of protective equipment, you can prepare and minimize the future impact on your business and the health of your constituents. Whether you’re looking for a bigger solution such as a HEPA medical-grade air filter, a portable UV-C light that can destroy bacteria, simply providing access to hand sanitizer across your campus, or anything in between, Indoff has a solution for your need(s). Prepare for the future and be sure your organization has the supplies and equipment available to keep staff and the students safe and healthy.

LED Lighting Solutions Switching to LED lighting is one of the easiest ways to save money today. Not only do LED lights use 75% less energy than your incandescent bulb, but it can save in maintenance costs and free up time for your staff to tackle other more important projects.

Additionally, proper lighting in schools can have numerous positive impacts on student productivity. It can create a more effective learning environment, which can lead to improved test scores, enhanced learning and increased overall student productivity.

A study conducted by Dr. Michael Schulte-Markwort, Director of the Clinic for Psychosomatics in Children and Juveniles at the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf studied 166 children and 18 teachers to determine the effect of light on learning behavior. He found that lighting had great results on the students.

Installing LED lighting in school facilities can have a massive impact to the health, safety and academic performance of its students. Outdoor lighting solutions can also increase the security of school property while reducing crime such as physical violence and car break-ins.

The money you can save in energy costs can have a big impact over the course of the 25 year lifespan of most LED bulbs. Lighting also affects multiple areas of our lives; it shapes how we sleep, our mood and our motivation and concentration. That’s why it’s vital to pay close attention to the lighting in schools, and change those lighting systems to improve the lives of today’s students.

An Indoff Case Study The University of Houston While dimly lit parking garages may be great for scary movies, in real life a well-lit garage is essential for the safety and security of residents and drivers. When Brittani Hunter, General Manager of Cullen Oaks Apartments, noticed that some of the residential parking garages and lots in and around campus at the University of Houston were not meeting expectations, she reached out to her ACC Regional Manager, Chris Coleman, to see what could be done to resolve the issue.

Fortunately for Brittani, Chris had just returned from a Facilities Conference where he participated in a LED lighting session led by Indoff, Inc.’s, John Vasquez. John was able to turn to Bob Edgley, the local Indoff Energy Solutions Representative, who walked Brittani and Chris through the process of performing, at no cost, a professional audit of the property’s lighting to determine the value of upgrading. Once the audit was completed, Indoff was able to source the most appropriate vendor and products to meet the requirements to do the job right.

Cullen Oaks Apartments replaced the parking lot and garage lighting with LED wall packs, canopy, and high bay lighting. Based on kilo watt savings, the new lighting package is estimated to pay for itself in as little as 31 months. And based on a 4% utility increase per year, the entire project has an estimated cost savings of $597,000 over a 25-year time frame. Not only will the lighting package save hundreds of thousands of dollars over its lifetime, but it also met the requirements for an energy incentive rebate from CenterPoint Energy for $13,718. Indoff took care of all the paperwork and submissions to make sure that ACC received every cent they were entitled.

‘Over the 25-year life span of the project, the return on investment is estimated to total $597,000.’

Automated Temperature Scanners Getting everyone back to work, attending classes, and hosting events safely is going to require new protocols. We must be intentional about reopening. Without the proper procedures in place, we not only put a worker’s, student’s, or visitor’s health at risk, but it can expose the university to expensive legal issues.

CDC Health Screening Questionnaire Because many COVID-19 cases are non-symptomatic, the CDC mandates screening as a vital first step in defending against the virus.

Temperature Screening Although COVID-19 has many possible symptoms, (including cough, shortness of breath, nausea, and muscle pain), researchers at the University of Southern California just confirmed a critical finding: Fever is most often the first symptom to appear.

Face Mask Detection A study from Health Affairs shows that the 15 states that adopted mask mandates early likely prevented up to 450,000 cases of COVID-19.

Contact Tracing Contact tracing prevents one case of COVID-19 from turning into 100. It is done by discovering all of the people that may have come into contact with an infected person, contacting them, and helping them decide the next step that is right for their individual circumstances
