What ceiling fans/fans were in your schools?

[vcvcfans]

~ Pre K-3: (Church preschool) There were 6 brown curved-blade industrials in the sanctuary, 4 over the pews & 2 over the balcony in the back. I was four the last time I was in there so don't remember the brand, but gessing from memory i think they were SMC K56's or Con-Techs. There was an industrial pedestal fan in the basement/lunchroom that everyone called "The Big Fan".
~ Pre K-4 & Kindergarten: (Another Church preschool) I remember seeing a few industrial pedestal fans in a storage closet, but they were never used.
~ Grade 1 (K-5 school): No ceiling fans, but I wonder if there was any prior in the buildins history, singe the oldest part of the school was built in the 20's. My teacher had a Lasko box fan in her room, along with ever other teacher. my dad used to teach in that district and had one.
~ Grade 2-5 (2-5 school)*: There were 2 Envirofan straight blade reversible GoldLines in ProtectoGuards. The middle school in the district had 4 on the old gym, and another school had 4 on long downrods. All of the classrooms in the school had 2 18" Air King wall fans, one in front one in back (the old kind with three blades, if they failed they got replace with the 5 blade newer ones). In addition second grade teacher had 2 SMC 16" pedestal fans. There were no fans in my third grade class because it was a Portable with AC. My fourth grade teacher had a Lasko Cyclone, a Comfort Zone pedestal, a Lasko tower, and some other wood grain 3 metal blade thing. My fifth grade classroom had a Lakewood box fan, an SMC like my second grade teacher, and a Wexford pedestal. My fifth grade teacher did not like it when fan oscillated, so none of them ever did (exept for the Wexford, a student broke it the year before me).
~ Grade 6-8 (middle school): My middle school had five 80's Con-Techs (one was replaced by a Dayton/Leading Edge but still had upper & lower Con-Tech canopies) with cages in the South Gym (original gym of the school built in 1970). There were ten Dayton/Leading Edges in the North Gym (built in the '95/'96 addition of the school). All of the other schools in the K-8 district have fans in there gyms, about 80% Con-Tech & 20% Dayton. A teacher in 6th grade had a Lasko box, the art room had a Lakewood box, and 2 Target brand pedestal fans.
Grades 9-12 (high school): Emerson Stratoejets. 6 in the library, 4 in the gym, 8 in the fieldhouse, 2 above the stairs down the locker rooms, 2 in the hallway between the fieldhouse & gym 2 in one stairwell, 2 in another stairwell, 2 in the theater foyer, 6 36" stratojets in the main hallway's atrium outlooking the courtyard (3 on each side, it's an L-shaped hallway) and 4 Dayton/Leading Edges in the autoshop. There used to be 3 stratojets each in a skylight in the main foyer, but they got removed in 2003 when the foyer got expanded. As for regular fans, my ninth grade math teacher had a Lasko tower in her room, and when cleaning the floors the have Dayton floor fans and a few blowers.


* The law in Illinois says that you have to be 6 in order to be in first grade, but I had Pre K-4 and K in the same year & I was 5. So my dad payed money for me to be at his school that he teached at for my first grade. The district my dad teached at was a K-5, 6-8, 9-12 district, while the district that close to my house was a K-1, 2-5, 6-8, 9-12 district. So for second grade I went to the district I was supposed to go to since there was no law about being 6 in second grade.

There was an older thread on this I think.

But anyway the first elementary school I went to had a 52" 5 blade AB hugger in the kitchen and some kind of PB downrod fans over the lunch lines. Front office had a few 16" wall mount fans with gray clear blades (maybe Lasko) and there were some 16" fans with gray blades and I think grounded cords (possibly Dayton). One teacher had a white 16" Duracraft pedestal, another had a brown/tan Galaxy 12" oscillator.

Second elementary school (built 1991) had an AB Hunter Summer Breeze II over the front desk and one in the copier/mail room just behind it. The side offices (principal, vice principals, etc) had PB GE vent fans with 5 cane blades. One teacher had a Lakewood 1200A oscillator on top of a book shelf. Another had a Lasko box fan but that got broken so she got a 12" Lasko pedestal fan to replace it (I helped put together). Another teacher had an Advantage white 12" oscillator.

Middle school had no CFs. Very few teachers had fans there either. I can't really recall what any were if they did. The gym did have a large drum type belt driven fan. One class we did experiments in used a 16" Lasko oscillator (gray) for the wind experiments. Sometimes the cafeteria kitchen had a 16" gray Lasko oscillator set up as well.

High school had a couple I think AB Emerson or Sears Laskos 4 blade CFs on the hallway at the back of the gym. One teacher had a 16" pedestal fan of some kind, another had a 12" oscillator (Tatung I believe), also one had some cheapo Pelonis pedestal fans. Another had a GE branded Lasko box fan with the thermostat and indicator light on the handle. Office had a couple Duracraft turbo fans, librarian had a 12" white Duracraft oscillator. Cafeteria had a 9" blue bladed oscillator in manager's office with push buttons and an 18" commercial grade pedestal fan in the kitchen.

Every school in my K-12 school district did not have any ceiling fans at the time I attended each school. However, the elementary school I went to for Kindergarten and grades 5-6 had two Big Ass Elements installed in the cafeteria after the fact. Across all of the classrooms etc. in the school district, not very many of the rooms are even air conditioned, and most teachers usually have portable fans. The district is currently in the process of building new schools, which will be very unlikely to have any ceiling fans. The school with the Big Ass Fans is supposed to be demolished.

The university I attended does have some ceiling fans on campus. The Subway on campus has 5 Regency MX Excels and one builder fan, and the rec center has 6 black Daytons in the fitness area. Those are the only fans I know of, as there are many buildings and a few other campuses I have never set foot in.

Alright digging up some dirt here but my earliest remembrance of school fans were in kindergarten. There were 2 white Gulf Coast Naples and/or Kenroy(?) stack-motor fans in the classroom. Both had their own variable speed control. I made sure they were always on ofc c:<
My 1st grade was the only classroom (that I know of) that didn't have those other fans. In here were just 2 4-bladed white huggers with stencil blades nothing special..

I moved then and pretty much didn't see many more during the elementary years..

Going into middle/high-school years I had started attending a boarding school for what would be another 5-6 years. There was a treasure trove of oldie spinners in its surrounding buildings but most have been replaced by now.. Really there were rooms and it would seem frozen in time from the 70-80's but I digress. The (only)classroom I was in had two fans: one 52" zepher-bracket hugger w/ 4 stencil blades and a 42" lasko/house beautiful fan both in antique brass. In those 5 years, they never turned off medium but only when the power went out. Oh the dust.... THE DUST was becoming one with the blades, nasty. In the tutor rooms were one 48" caribbean breeze and a 36" in the smaller room adjacent to the other one. Unfortunately the 48" got swapped out for the most pitiful fan Ive ever seen. Slow builder w/ no blade pitch. Apex of awful. The front chapel had two 56" TAT ufo's that never got used in the time I was attending. The school office had a 42" SMC park avenue II in AB. Now the dining hall, which is a separate building, had a total of 6 fans. 1 HB landmark, 4 brass CEC GE Vent 5 cane-bladed fans, and one ity bity white Supreme mark 1 in a little closet "barber shop." Where we the students stayed there were no fans due to other kids breaking them all the time/hurting themselves, thus only at the mercy of the central A/C. What a time lol.

At my primary school (which shut down at around 2014) there was a whole collection of fans: 

1. Bailing - very unusual curvy, extremely droopy bladed fans with a Chinese looking motor with a metallic ring  
2. MEC (similar to CMC) with iron, droopy curved blades and poor airflow
3. Two 36" curvy bladed Evernals, with a huge cylindrical powerful motor
4. Home Classic - this was the worst ceiling fan in the school. It was very similar to a CMC, but had 3 markings on the blades, not 1. I remember it replacing one of the Bailings in Sept 2007, and when I visited the school in 2012 it had been replaced by a new Evernal, different than the two mentioned above.
5. Vision - an Indian looking powerful fan, which replaced one of the MECs. On the lowest speed it spun as fast as the MEC on high speed!
6. Relite/Airmaster (Made in England)
7. 2 Relite Rapide MKII (my favourite) something unusual about them is that I think they were about 42". I cannot remember well, as I was 9 years old the last time I saw them.
8. CKC - had a similar logo to TMT. 
9. About 4 of the fans remain unknown, as they have the canopies of another fan.
10. Kmart Schichen/Moss Caribbean Breeze

At my secondary school, they were fans called HCE, which look like the MEC I mentioned before. However, the school was refurbished and all the fans were changed to S&P. There was also a new builiding added in 2011, also with S&Ps

At my tertiary school, there were quite a collection too:
1. Many Metropolitan (they look like CMC fans), many had bad bearings and broken/missing canopies
2. S&P (newest in the school)
3. Relite Rapide MKII
4. VEC I think
5. Relite (Singaporean I think)/Solent. This is also a very mysterious fan
6. GEC Everest
7. GEC (1960s I think) 
8. Frisk (similar to Tornado)

At my present school, there are no ceiling fans in my block unfortunately, bu I came across a couple of old fans which I saw far away in other blocks of the school.
