One of the biggest challenges in designing an auditorium is mapping out the seating. Just seating people correctly in an open auditorium requires quite a bit of careful planning – throw in factors like pillars, gangways, and special needs, and you’ve got quite a challenge on your hands.

When you work with us, you can count on our expertise in planning for legroom, circulation, sightlines, and more.
Planning for Success
Fixed seating naturally requires more planning than moveable seating. Once your seats are installed, they can’t easily be shuffled and reorganized. So it’s imperative that you have a strategic seating plan right from the start, and that begins with:
1. Calculate – Plan out how many seats need to fit into your auditorium before selecting the type of chair you’ll use. Joined seats (like those used in cinemas) take up less space, while individual seats require more. Figure out seat width and take any pillars, gangways and legroom into consideration before making a final decision.
2. Check – Make sure that your seating plan meets the health and safety regulations. There are specific guidelines regarding legroom, gangways, etc. and these can’t be compromised.
3. Accommodate – Take special needs into consideration and make sure that you’ve allowed sufficient space for wheelchairs and disabilities. Consider that some people in wheelchairs might have caregivers with them who will require additional seating space near the wheelchair.
4. Compare – Will the number of chairs accommodate the number of people you’ll have in your auditorium? If not, you might need to choose a smaller chair.
