We all are very excited to welcome the new Golisano Community Engagement Center, but there’s part of it that no one else is talking about. We have come to answer the most impactful question of them all. What about the chairs? What chair keeps bringing you back? We have ranked the 13 tantalizing seating options and arrangements from worst to best. Take it as you will, and possibly ponder it the next time your tush graces the GCEC seats.
13. Huh?
Red circle chairs between the tall tables
“What are these? Why are they here? Who uses them?”
12. The Ice Pack
Beanbagesque stool by the pool table
“You’re waiting for your turn to play pool, right?”
11. The Nurse’s Office
Benches by the fireplace
“It’s not a chair; it’s a bench.”
10. I Don’t Want to Talk
Red, enclosed chairs by doors
“Sure, there’s comfort, but try getting out of them with your dignity intact.”

9. The Backless Strapless
Tall stools with no backs
“Tush? Comfortable.
Back? Gone.
Hotel? Trivago.”
8. The Mastermind
Red and grey rotating chairs with high heads
“Where’s my cat and coffee? At least I can write my evil monologue in peace.”
7. Darlene
The red couches
“They’re good. I’m waiting for them to be great.”
6. 001
Red chairs with the crossing metal bottoms
“Please let me put my feet up.”
5. The Middle Child
The chairs tucked in the nooks
“We all forgot they were there.”
4. Garlock DUPE
The booths
“They’d be better if they were spaced right.”
3. 001 Premium
Orange chairs by the pale wooden tables
“Want a break from the ads?”
2. R U Slacking
The grey couches
“You better be energized, or @RWUSlacking will find you.”

1. The Forbidden Fruit
The wheely chairs in the conference room
