Guide to Choosing Your Ideal Lecture Chairs

1. Guide to Choosing Your Ideal Lecture Chairs Evertaut Limited

2. If you’re responsible for specifying seating for a new lecture theatre there are several factors you should consider which will help you choose the ideal lecture chairs for your establishment and the needs of your students. • First of all you need to look at the available floor space and the number of lecture chairs you need to fit in. When looking at any lecture chairs you’ll need to check the dimensions to assess whether the required number will fit in the lecture theatre, also taking into account the number of walkways and spacing required to ensure you comply with fire and safety regulations. If this is an area you are unfamiliar with it’s worth noting that most reputable suppliers will be able to draw up a seating plan for you at no extra cost. • Once you’ve got this basic information you need to think about the needs of the students who will be using the lecture chairs – will the subjects being taught in the lecture theatre require them to use a range of devices, equipment or books? This will determine whether you need lecture chairs with writing tablets or if a fixed desk which will provide much greater working space is more appropriate. You also need to think about accessibility for students with a disability and space for wheelchair users. Many lecture theatres incorporate a bank of removable seats on the front row to accommodate wheelchairs.

3. Also think about how long lectures are likely to last and what level of comfort the lecture chairs will need to offer. The quality of chairs on the market varies greatly from low-back, thinly padded seats to thick-cushioned chairs with high backs. You obviously want students to remain alert but you also don’t want them to be constantly shuffling around in their seats because they are uncomfortable. It’s always a good idea to test out your preferred options before making a final purchase decision. No amount of descriptive text on a website telling you how comfortable and ergonomic a seat is can substitute being able to test the seat out and assess this first hand. • Another important point to consider is what type of ambience you are aiming to create in the lecture theatre. Do you want it to look professional, corporate, relaxed, stimulating, inspiring etc? The style and particularly colour of the chosen lecture chairs will be key in projecting this. Many universities are now opting for seats in more than one colour, whether it’s alternate contrasting colours or a random pattern of complementary tones. There is a huge selection of fabrics and colours on the market and most suppliers should be able to source your choice of material if it’s not part of the standard range they offer.

4.
