• Row width 610mm min recommended
• Minimum clear seat way 400mm
•Width of seats 460 – 500mm
• These allow closer spacing but are less comfortable.
SIGHT OF SPECTATOR

All planning must be done by accordance with national regulation for the
construction and management of meeting places in which the requirement

2. TYPES OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL HALL
TYPES OF GAMES HALL
SWIMMING POOL
Pool capacities may be determined by dividing the water surface area by 2.
Thus a 25 x 13 m pool can accommodate to reasonable comfort standards
325 ÷ 2 = 162 bathers. Changing cubicles, lockers and car parking provision
can be based upon the same analysis plus the following allowances:
•Locker allowance based upon pool capacity, with a further162 changing =
324 lockers, usually in two- to three-tier compartments
•Changing cubicle provision may be based upon
a time factor of 5 –10 minute occupation per bather.
Thus in anyone hour 162 bathers in the pool plus a
further 162changing ready to enter the
pool = 324 bathers ÷ 10 minutes= 32 cubicles
•Car parking provision may be calculated
thus: 324 bathers,3 persons per car average
= 101 spaces + a further allowance for staff, disabled, etc., say 125
–150 spaces.
