Three Benefits of Fixed Lecture Seating

  • 2nd December 2019
  • News

Lecture theatres and their seating are becoming the forefront of higher education budgets allocation. Every university and college across the country battles each academic year to pull in students from across the country. To do this they have to ensure their offering is up to scratch. 

From luxury accommodation on campus to ground breaking lecture theatres. Upgrading the student experience is now a vital part of attracting an influx of students. Who have expectations higher than any generation before them. Students strive for modern buildings with vibrant colours and designs mixed between an array of technology befitting of their generation. 

Fixed Lecture Seating & Student Experience

The connection between improving the student experience and the design of your lecture theatre depends largely on the building, the space available and the purpose of the room. 

Multi-purpose spaces are generally better served by retractable lecture theatre seating, enabling the rows to be retracted and the floor opened for a range of other activities. If the room is available we normally find fixed lecture theatre seating to be the best option for a number of reasons. 

1. Use The Space

Fixed lecture seating allows for maximum usage of the space you have available. Each row of seating is uniform in height, depth and row spacing creating a platform to create a design best using your space. By using our experienced design techniques we create a bespoke layout of seating to limit waste and maximise audience capacity. 

2. Low Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of fixed seating in lecture theatres, is the lack of maintenance needed. Unlike retractable units, fixed seating has no mechanical parts for the required movement in and out of position. Our experienced team of installers simply erect a platform base and the foundations of your new lecture hall seating are now in place. By removing mechanical elements, there is no need for regular servicing. Or replacement of parts over the lifetime of the design. 

3. Additional Features 

Fixed-tier seating also gives the option of adding far more features than other types of seating. Adding to the student experience in this way is one of the best ways to add value. Students desire attractive lecture theatres with high-tech features from a modern university. The ability to add power sockets to fixed writing desks for laptops and tablets adds a new dimension which has become expected by the modern-day student.

 We added these and interactive ability into a fixed lecture theatre at Sheffield Hallam University to advance the offering in their new Charles St Building.

We were delighted with the service provided by Auditoria Services through pre-construction, delivery on site and post completion. The guys on site were very professional, polite and took great pride in their attention to detail to ensure a product of the highest quality with zero defects was delivered. Should we have to deliver another auditorium, you guys will be the first name on the list.

These processes are completed professionally to a very high standard whilst maintaining dialogue with the Project Manager at all stages. If there are any post contract issues Auditoria Services respond promptly ensuring that the issues are resolved quickly, efficiently and to our satisfaction with the minimum impact to staff and students.

Auditoria Services were employed by Kier on the Storyhouse project, which was at the time of construction the largest cultural development in the UK outside of London. The list of stakeholders…would pore over and scrutinise every detail of the project to ensure that it was value for money, that it was a quality product and that it was right. No more so was it experienced than in the design, development and ultimate choice of seat. Auditoria’s knowledge of what would and wouldn’t work was well received and ensured that the correct solutions were adopted and that the client was satisfied.
