Tips On Auditorium Theater Seating For Optimum Patron Comfort

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.

It is advised to walk through the hall for a bit and develop a vision. What are the fantasies as pertains to design? Is the fantasy achievable? Does the fantasy fit with the function of the room? How much capacity is required and does the vision allow for that stipulation? Choosing the chairs is a very important bit. These will leave an impression on the patrons. One should choose with a view to ergonomics. Ensure to keep an eye on size, be an inclusive establishment and allow seating for all sizes of people.

Enter the accessories. These are items that one could do without but boy would they be nice to have. What accessories would be important to the patrons of the establishment? Are they the kind of people to bring drinks hence needing cup holders? Are they the kind of people to need swivel tables and electric outlets? How about recliners? Does the establishment serve a clientele that appreciates a lean back?

This kind of hall will mostly hold plays and musical or poetry performances. This will be an important aspect to consider when picking chairs. They have to be extremely comfortable so that they do not get in the way of experiencing the performance.

After thinking about the designs and chair choices, legal considerations come up next. There are legal codes that specify row spacing and clear passage. There is also need to think about emergencies like fire or threat. There needs to be a chance for the patrons to all get out safely. That means adequate exits and proper safety guidelines in place. There should also be the accessibility for the disabled people.

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.

Patrons are the reason for making such a fuss over chair arrangement. They need to be comfortable and have to be in a position to maintain a strong relationship with the stage. The audience should not experience some disconnect with the performance due to poor chair arrangement design.
