Efficient Auditorium Theater Seating Arrangement

By Richard Moore


There are two ways for patrons to be seated for a performance in a hall. The first form is multiple aisle. This allows two aisles for each row. The number of rows depends on how big the room is, for the most part. The other form is continental. This is one big block of chairs positioned at the center of the room. If done well, this allows for more auditorium theater seating. In this case, the exit doors have to be placed strategically.

In some halls, the chairs are arranged in a curved manner while others do the straight thing. This is not for aesthetic purposes, well, not purely at least. The main reason is due to the floor construction. The architecture of the room dictates the curve or straight arrangement. If the arrangement does not conform to the architecture some parts of the audience will be obstructed.

Before engaging the idea of designing a space, there is the need for an abstract idea or vision. How many units would be required for the space to achieve optimal function? How long should the project take? How much time would be convenient for the establishment? Pick a good chair model. Ensure to consider the ergonomic aspects before deciding on a chair.

The chairs will usually come with accessories. The choice of accessories is determined first and foremost by the budget. Accessories are not really necessary, they only work to enhance the experience in the hall. The list is extensive with cup holders, aisle lighting, swivel tables, electrical outlets, reclining abilities or even lumbar support. Come to think of it, some of the accessories are almost necessary lie the aisle lighting and lumbar support.

The different functions of the hall will feature in the design decisions. What kinds of events are slated to be held in the space? Will space be all purpose? For example, think about that famous UN hall. The designer must have thought about the royalty and top notch people who would be in there. He or she probably thought about the concerts and serious conversations that would be had in there. These featured in the decision to make it tasteful and simple with a sufficient touch of elegance.

Code consideration is integral. If the odes are not adhered to, the establishment risks a fine or some sort of punishment from the authorities. There should be adequate spacing and passageways. The arrangement should not discourage quick getaway in case of emergencies. The arrangement should also be kind to people living with disabilities. There should be adequate accessibility for them.

Making all of these decisions might be difficult for a person lacking in experience and knowledge. Therefore, it is okay to get a professional to help through all the decisions. A professional will be instrumental in introducing new technologies and accessories.

The customer is always right. The customer is king. These ideals ring true even in this instance. The patron is the reason for chasing comfort and consistent connection with the stage. The performance o stage cannot transport the audience when some are suffering neck cramps.
