To assist in your event planning we are providing room dimensions and the maximum number of people who can fit into a specific area. The first step in booking meeting room space at Legends is to verify we can accommodate your guests with a specific floor plan. To be sure, keep in mind that "maximum" number of individuals are usually noted for that space, and the calculations do not consider other room setup requirements, such as banquet stations, staging or A/V, which take away from the overall space.

STANDARD FLOOR PLANS

1. Classroom Floor Plan: Classroom layout includes rows of tables and chairs. Six foot tables can comfortably hold two people per table, and eight foot tables can comfortably hold three people per table. The tables are typically arranged in rows joining two tables in length, and then incorporates an aisle for people to access the seats.

 

LEGENDS TIP: facilities often calculate the maximum based on an additional person per table. Unfortunately, attendees at the end of each table end up bumping their knees against table legs.

--------------------------------------------------------------

2. Theater Floor Plan: Theater floor plans typically line up rows of chairs and space aisles depending on the width of the room, obstacles, and the total seating needed. Theater floor plans allow for the maximum number of people to fit into a meeting room.

 

LEGENDS TIP: At Legends we prefer to avoid bumping seats next to each other, this can make for uncomfortable seating depending on the total attendees. Our chairs have an average width, consider comfortable spacing for theater seating.

--------------------------------------------------------------

3. Banquet Floor Plan: Banquet seating is commonly calculated based on round tables that hold 10 people using 6' round tables. Some facilities also use 5' round tables. Banquet style allows for small group interaction at each table. Banquet seating is often used for dinner events or as separate space for breakfast and lunch breaks.

 

LEGENDS TIP: Request a room layout for tables of 8 rather than 10. This will allow event attendees to have extra space to place their notebooks, other materials and make for a more comfortable seating arrangement.

--------------------------------------------------------------

4. Reception Room Floor Plan: Reception space typically includes numerous high boy tables throughout a room, as well as tables for banquet and bar services. Because it isn't necessary for dedicated seating space, this will reflect the largest number of individuals who can fit into the room.

 

LEGENDS TIP: Discuss the total number of tables needed for the reception, and consider a mix in the room with 5' rounds that include six seats for those who do not want to stand and mingle the whole time.

--------------------------------------------------------------

5. Boardroom Floor Plan: A boardroom floor plan structures the room with all attendees sitting around a closed table environment. Boardroom set-up is structured for attendees to have close interaction.

 

LEGENDS TIP: We do not offer a specific boardroom which is designed for executive meetings. With pipe and drape a more condensed, private environment can be established. Furniture A/V equipment, and other amenities can be added to impress attendees.

--------------------------------------------------------------

6. U-Shaped Floor Plan: U-shaped floor plans layout tables and seating to form a "U" toward the front of the room where the speaker will lead a discussion. This allows A/V to sit in the center of the "U" and project to a screen next to the speaker.

 

LEGENDS TIP: Rely on a U-shaped floor plan when planning interactive presentations for speakers to exchange ideas with the attendees. U-shaped floor plans are good for our rectangle shaped rooms.

--------------------------------------------------------------

7. Hollow Square Floor Plan: The hollow square layout is similar to the u-shape floor plan but simply closes off the fourth side to form a closed square or rectangle. It also has an open space in the middle of the table. Hollow square layouts are better for mid-sized rooms to hold a reasonable number of people who may interact with each other throughout the meeting.

 

LEGENDS TIP: Hollow square floor plans are best for brainstorm sessions and meetings that allow all participants to contribute to the discussion.
