4-2.2 Bowler Seating/Scoring and Spectator Seating
Size/Dimensions:
Allow a depth behind the approach of 24 to 30 feet (about 7300 to 9200 mm) for
bowler seating and scoring, and spectator seating. (Verify these dimensions with the
seating manufacturer.)
Finishes/Special Requirements:
Use "table and chairs" style furnishings for bowlers and spectators. (Provide 1 fixed
table and about 7 seats per lane including spectator seating). This style of furnishings
is available as proprietary systems. Consider "glow" type furnishings.
Integrate scoring computers with bowlers' seating furnishings (1 per lane).
High top tables and chairs for spectators can improve their viewing position from the
tables next to the concourse. Consider seating requirements for children in the design
of these features.
Integrate racks for house balls near or with spectator seating (5 balls per lane
minimum; 8 to 10 recommended). Balls for youth programs should not be stored on
the concourse, but are kept adjacent to reception storage (see 4-4.2).
Provide a flat (single-level) floor throughout this area, at the same level as the
concourse, approaches and lanes.
Maintain adequate aisle width between seating elements to comply with egress and
accessibility requirements. All seating elements must comply with ADAAG/ADA
guidance.
High ceilings are recommended for spaciousness and dramatic interest.
Use concealed or indirect fluorescent lighting, such as in coffers or as decorative
pendant lights, with additional recessed halogen spotlights over tables.
Include provisions for "glow package" lighting and sound system.
Lighting level: 10-15 FC suggested; 30-50 FC on tables. Avoid conflict in illumination
with the brighter lanes and pins.
Resilient flooring is recommended. (Carpeting should not be used anywhere within
10 feet (3048 mm) of the approaches and lanes.)
Provide structural support, power, controls and dedicated grounding as required by
manufacturers for their equipment.
See Chapter 6 for other specialized requirements.
