Stadium.
Negatives
1. Dedicated space with limited multipurpose use.
2. Although positions can be reassigned easily, it does not readily lend itself
to podlike clustering or grouping of responding agencies.
3. Display size must increase with overall depth of room.
4. Requires buffer area at front of room to maintain optimum viewing angles.
5. Room proportions dictated by display characteristics.
6. Large group collaboration must occur in break rooms.
Collaboration Pods/Theater Variation
The pods/theater layout allows for the establishment clustering of ESF functions while
providing common focus to displayed information. Configuration establishes subgroup
principals allowing direct voice and visual interaction of the principals while still at their
positions, allowing assimilation of ongoing event data (Figure 2.5).
Positives
1. Subgrouping or ESF clusters work well for seven to 11 participants as
speaking levels can be held in check.
