Palmer Hamilton provides smart, versatile and beautiful furnishing solutions to K-12, higher education, libraries, commercial markets, fab labs and makerspaces. We began manufacturing high quality cafeteria tables for schools more than 65 years ago and quickly became the industry leader in innovation, selection and service. Over the years, our product lines evolved to include mobile tables, wall pocket systems, outdoor furniture, food court furniture and décor—all designed to be as durable and safe as they are stylish and easy-to-use. Soon we made the natural transition to the higher education and commercial markets, bringing our expertise in creating exceptional dining and social environments to colleges, universities and commercial facilities. The high demand for STEM professionals and a skilled work force led us to create a complete turn-key Fab Lab program in 2018. What a great opportunity to help educators and students implement a successful Fab Lab. Palmer Hamilton gathered a team of the nation’s foremost fab lab experts/educators to help create the first and most complete Fab Lab package. This package helps K-12 schools engage every student with an ongoing sustainable Lab in months, as opposed to years. Palmer Hamilton now offers Fab Lab turn-key solutions including Design, Furniture, Graphics, Fab Lab Equipment, Staff Training, Curriculum and Support.
