Key Topics
Service Area Components
The service area in a spectator facility is critical for ensuring accessibility, safety, and operational efficiency. Key components outlined by the standard include:
- Circulation system: This includes concourses, operator routes, emergency routes, and vomitories. The design aims to facilitate safe and smooth movement of spectators and staff, especially during peak times and emergencies.
- Sanitary facilities: Adequate toilets considering gender-specific ratios and provisions for disabled spectators with accessible features are required. Minimum recommended numbers are specified to maintain comfort and hygiene.
- Medical facilities: First aid stations must be strategically located with easy access for emergency vehicles, including wheelchair accessibility. A guideline for the number of stations based on crowd size is provided.
- Catering and merchandise zones: Provision for public refreshment, food services, and retail kiosks to enhance spectator experience.
- Zones for organizers, VIPs, media, and participants: Dedicated areas to support event logistics and management.
- Parking and external circulation: Sufficient space for vehicle parking, including accessible parking for wheelchair users, and safe external circulation routes must be incorporated.
Circulation and Safety
The standard mandates that circulation routes outside and inside the service area accommodate emergency vehicle access and prevent spectator congestion. Capacity limits for concourses and queuing areas are provided to ensure crowd density does not compromise safety or comfort.
- Recommended density for concourse refreshment areas: up to 3.3 persons/m²
- Queuing areas: up to 2.5 persons/m²
- Circulation space is calculated using occupancy predictions between 30% and 50% of the viewing area's capacity.
