Theatre (chairs only) · ~1 m² per person

Calculation

  1. 1Capacity = area ÷ coef = 100 ÷ 1 = 100 people
Coefficients are industry averages including aisles: theatre ~0.8-1.5 m²/person (most efficient; talks and keynotes), banquet rounds ~1.2-1.5 (tables of ten; a 1.8 m round takes 15-20 m²), classroom ~1.5-2.5 (with writing space; JGJ67-2006 requires ≥1.8 m²/person with tables, ≥0.8 without), U-shape ~1.5-2.0 (discussion). Deduct stage (20-30 m²), booths, breaks or reception areas before calculating; rooms with many columns or low ceilings take another 10-20% off. When picking a venue, add a 10-20% buffer over the computed area. Fire code: exits and aisles ≥0.8-0.9 m wide; capacity is capped by fire safety limits.
