Typical Main Room Layout
Open Space Technology Room Layout

  • One or more concentric circles of chairs.

  • Double the number of participants to determine room size needed. (For example, an advertised capacity of 300 is needed for 150 participants.)

  • The more square the main room, the better.

  • The main room should give the feel of Open Space when filled with participants.

  • One breakout room for about every 15 participants.

  • Each breakout room/area should be set up with a circle of chairs for about 15 people.
