Blackboards are specially coated steel that resists the elements and facilitates easier graffiti removal. They are two sided to provide opportunities for four groups of four to break out and still observe physical distancing protocols. Carefully designed to stand 18” above the field, they provide open sight-lines at the ground plane allowing the entire classroom to meet CPTED Guidelines for supervision.
