This conference room planning guide is offered as an efficient tool that can help you
get started on the process of selecting and buying your conference room furniture.
There are practical size & code requirements for fitting conference furniture into a
room. The most important consideration is the size of your room because the
conference table’s size, its shape, the size of the chairs and any ancillary storage
credenzas, must be planned according to your room’s capacity. It is very important
that the room does not appear cramped or crowded.

The charts and guidelines provided here are a starting point. You must know what
size table you are going to need to obtain accurate quotes. When you look at a
photo and see 10 chairs around a table generally, you’re looking at a 10’ table with
four chairs on each side and one chair at the ends of the table. A quick way to find
the appropriate size table is take the length of the room and subtract 10 feet. This
allows 5 feet at the head of the table for walk space. If you have a 22-foot room a 12-
foot table is a great fit. Yes, you can go for a larger table if you are willing to sacrifice
walkway space. But remember that there are code minimums that need to be
considered Not all conference tables have the same knee space clearance and you
might have to settle for fewer chairs around the table than the standard guidelines
that are listed here permit.

If you are adding credenzas and storage, remember that most storage is 20” or 24”
deep. You must also take door swing clearances into consideration.

Projection

Before embarking on the design of a cinema, ask the advice of a

cinema equipment company.
Picture projection: Fire-separation materials are no longer
required in the projection room due to the use of safety film. One
projectionist operates a number of projectors, so the projection
room is no longer considered as continuously occupied by staff.
It has 1 m spacing from the projector at the back and on the
max. outer edge of seating block
operator side, 2.80 m height, ventilation and extraction, and sound
= outside edge of picture insulation to the auditorium. The projection rooms of several
last row of seats auditoriums can be combined together.
Film widths are 16 mm, 35 mm and 70 mm. The centre of the
projection beam should not deviate more than so horizontally and
vertically from the centre of the screen or it should be redirected
by a deflection mirror -'> 0.
Conventionally, two projectors are operated with cross-blending.
Automated operation with one projector plus horizontal film tray
showing 4000 m reels without pause has become established
worldwide, in many projection rooms remotely run from projection
and control points. The film gives automatic signals for all
projection functions like lens changing, hall lighting, stage lighting,
plan view curtain and picture covering.

0 Access to cinema auditoriums
With a number of screens of various sizes in one building, multiplex
cinemas are often combined with shopping centres, car parks etc,
which require extensive parking space ~ p. 225. The auditoriums
are reached via a common entrance and sometimes stacked. On
account of the large numbers of visitors, good orientation and
clear signing to the individual screens is important. The location of
the screens in relation to the entrance foyer should be according
to their size (large screens nearest to the foyer), or the largest
screen in a central location/on the direct route from the foyer. The
sizes of the single auditoriums depend on the requirements of the
operator, as also the spacing of the rows, foyer design etc.
The cash desk zone should be near the entrance, the number of
desks dependent on the number of seats: approx. 5 m2 floor areal

f) Schematic arrangement of cinema The entrance foyer should be of generous proportions, clearly laid

Multiplex Cinemas, Examples

The town-planning situation plays a significant role in the number

of cinema screens that can be combined into a unit. Possible forms
are layered stacking (screens stacked as a cube, access and service
functions connected in free form at the side)--> 8- 0, or a horizontal
row of screens (larger cinemas from the 1960s were extended with
further screens, sunk into the ground for conservation reasons) -->
0 - f) or combination forms. A common form is the combination
with other functions like shopping centres and car parks, with sales
areas on the ground floor, cinema screens and parking on the first

The space required varies very widely

T 0 according to the character of a restaurant.

f Apart from fast food outlets, the least space

required is in cafes. The most is needed in
restaurants and diners. Diagonal arrangement
of the tables generally takes up less space than
an aligned pattern, with a space saving of up
to 35%. Alcoves are beneficial for use of space
because the distance between seats and wall
is no longer required. In larger restaurants,
0 Table sizes In a restaurant: with predominantly plate service the table depth can be reduced to 70 em many groups of tables (a waiter's 'territory') are
collected together to form units.

Restaurant plans. The functional design of dining rooms
kitchens involves determining the following:
Large kitchens
Examples 1. Entrances and traffic axes, which limit the
usable area, according to number and
required width.

forms of furniture): stations for 40 places

3. Table sizes and shapes according
to the character of the business and
the expected guest structure. A good
procedure is to design a percentage
structure of desirable table sizes with
various combinations, starting from the
intended total capacity. Table sizes and
shapes result from the intended use. Areas
of about 20 (12-24) places are designed
C) Bistro-caf9-bar
according to the character, type of
business and intended visual organisation,
to avoid the impression of a waiting roorn.
