F.A.Q.
What is the recommended square footage required for each of the following?
| A seated dinner with 5' round tables | 15 square ft per person |
| A seated dinner with 8' round tables | 12 square ft per person |
| Theater seating | 7 square ft per person |
| A dance area | 5 square ft per person |
| A bar area | 100 square ft |
| Speakers platform | 12 square ft per person |
| Band stand | 10 square ft per person plus instruments |
What are the general rules of thumb for the following?
Banquet Style Seating: When using oblong tables, divide the room area (sq. ft.) by 12. When using round tables, divide the room area (sq. ft.)by 15. These figures are for maximum seating. If space is available for more comfortable seating, allow an extra 2 sq. ft. per person.
Classroom Style Seating: Divide student seating area (sq. ft.) by 10.
Theater Style Seating: Divide spectator seating area (sq. ft.) by 7.
This method of calculation allows for chair and passage aisles. It does not allow for problems caused by wide traffic aisles, location of columns, service doors or unique room shapes. It is useful for quick, general approximations.
