The assumed constant of ‘the crown’, i.e. the distance from the eye to the top of the head which is known as the C valueThe tread depth or seating row depthThe point of focus (the middle of the innermost athletics track or the near touchline in football or rugby)The height of the spectator’s eye in the first row

SIGHT OF SPECTATOR

TYPES OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL HALL

TYPES OF GAMES HALL

SWIMMING POOL

Pool capacities may be determined by dividing the water surface area by 2. Thus a 25 x 13 m pool can accommodate to reasonable comfort standards 325 ÷ 2 = 162 bathers.Changing cubicles, lockers and car parking provision can be based upon the same analysis plus the following allowances:• Locker allowance based upon pool capacity, with a further 162 changing = 324 lockers, usually in two- to three-tiercompartments• Changing cubicle provision may be based upon a time factor of 5–10-minute occupation per bather. Thus in any one hour 162 bathers in the pool plus a further 162 changing ready to enter the pool = 324 bathers ÷ 10 minutes = 32 cubicles• Car parking provision may be calculated thus: 324 bathers, 3 persons per car average = 101 spaces + a further allowance for staff, disabled, etc., say 125–150 spaces.
