1. Travel distance: The requirement to evacuate from every level of the auditorium in
less than two and a half minutes determines the maximum travel distance from seat
to exit within the venue.

2. The maximum travel distance for a traditional setup is 18 meters from the gangway,
while for continental seating, it is 15 meters from any seat.
3.
Exits: For the first 500 seats in each auditorium level, there must be two distinct
exits, and for every subsequent 250 seats, there must be an additional exit.
4.
Stairs: There should be no more than 16 risers on staircase flights, and at least 2.
Riser widths should be 180 mm and tread widths 275 mm.

5. Ramps: Escape routes for wheelchair users should be level or ramped, and they can
be accessible independently of other routes.

3.5 Exhibition gallery design

A well-planned presentation and display of a variety of objects is called an exhibition. at
reality, exhibitions typically take place at galleries, museums, World's Fairs, and exhibition
halls. Exhibitions can consist of a wide range of items, including artwork in larger and
smaller galleries, interpretative displays, historical and natural history museums, as well as
more specialized events like trade shows and exhibitions with a more commercial
component.

3.5.1 General Planning

Every museum and art gallery shares a basic set of linkages between functions. Figure 23
illustrates the motions of collection items throughout the provision of collection services;
however, keep in mind that not all operations necessitate a dedicated area, and certain
services can be supplied by outside organizations. Collection movement and public
circulation ought to be kept apart as far as feasible. Based on this idea, Figure 24 illustrates
a zoning and expansion strategy.
