Conference Hall or Multi-Purpose Hall? Choosing the Right Project Type
An institution wants to build a hall.
The question is: Should a conference hall be built or a multi-purpose hall? Is it?
Usually the answer starts like this:
“100 people, stylish, have a sound system, the seats are comfortable "
However, this description is not a definition of need, but a description of a dream. must be determined.
1. Conference Hall: Focused, Fixed, Controlled
Conference rooms are designed for speech and presentation-oriented events. Users are spectators, they do not appear on stage. This structure is based on clear needs:
Features:
– Fixed seat system
– Tilt-controlled grandstand placement
– Central focal point (stage or podium)
– Powerful acoustics and reverb control
– Lighting priority: presentation, note taking, face illumination
Proper use scenarios:
– Conference
– Seminar
– Panel, open session
– Academic speeches
Advantages:
– Highly technical performance
– Clear audio-visual experience
– Low maintenance need
Disadvantage:
– Flexibility is low. It is only suitable for certain types of activities.
2. Multi-Purpose Hall: Flexible, Transformable, Challenging However, this flexibility brings with it some risks in planning.
Features:
– Foldable or mobile seat systems
– Flat floor or variable platform
– Adjustable light, curtain, stage and sound infrastructure
– Large space area
– Usually retractable stage structure
Convenient use scenarios:
– Show, concert, theatre
– Meeting, celebration, graduation
– Exhibition, fair, movie display
– Sports competitions (some cases)
Advantages:
– Usage diversity
– Common use of different units within the institution
– Versatile return on investment return
Disadvantages:
– Acoustics and vision quality are generally below average below
– Permanent seat ergonomics may be reduced
– Technical adjustment may be required for each event (curtain, lighting, sound etc.)
3. So How to Choose?
Questions you should ask are:
– Which type of event will be held most per year?
– Is 70% of the hall used by a single type? What is the user base?
– Which is more important, stage performance or speech clarity?
– Who is the user base: students, academics or the public? Does the institution have plans to rent the hall or use it for special events in the future?
When these questions are answered honestly, the type of project becomes clear. Otherwise, inefficient venues that are "neither a full conference nor a full stage" will emerge.
4. Are Hybrid Models Possible?
Yes, it is possible.
Thanks to developing mechanical systems, some halls can be optimized for "hybrid use". For example:
– Fixed tribune + mobile seat in front section
– Foldable stage background
– Acoustic scenario controlled ceiling systems
– Modular seats that can be easily disassembled and assembled structures
However, what should not be forgotten is this:
Hybrid system requires more investment. And even though it seems like it “does everything,” it “does everything perfectly.” It doesn't.”
S onuç
Living Room Getting it built is not building a place; is to design an experience.
In order for this experience to be clear, the project type must be determined correctly in the first step. The difference between a conference hall and a multi-purpose hall is not just the difference in seats or stage; It is a strategic decision.
As Nish Global, we sit down with our investors before the project is drawn up and make this decision together. Because in our opinion, a good hall can only be a hall built according to its needs. has been prepared.
