social functions.
The banquet seating capacity (approximately 10 ft 2 – 0.9 m 2 /guest) will be affected by
size and efficiency of configuration and is to be verified against an actual table and
seating layout to ensure that the capacity required in specific program requirements is
achieved.
The main ballroom will be adjacent to the pre-function space and linked on the rear to
the service corridor and main kitchen.
