Churches & Assembly Buildings — Assembly occupancy, honestly engineered

Buildings for public assembly carry the strictest life-safety requirements of any category — occupant load, egress capacity, accessibility and fire rating are all reviewed closely. Steel handles the span a sanctuary needs; the process needs care.

What to think about before you order

Bring the design authority in at concept stage. Occupant load determines exit count and width, which determines the endwall layout, which determines the structure — so it flows backward from the number of seats.

Common uses

  • Sanctuaries and worship space
  • Fellowship halls
  • Classrooms and youth space
  • Community assembly
