More protection for more people

City hall Graz

The City Hall Graz in Graz-Jakomini is the largest event hall in Graz. The hall, which can be extended to a maximum of 14,000 m², consists of an upper and ground floor.

In the well-attended and already longer-existing event hall, an application was made for an increase in the number of permitted persons. This application was approved thanks to the emergency lighting measures required in the notification. The fire protection report required an additional escape routing concept for the current emergency lighting in the building.

Steer fleeing persons in different directions

In order to better distribute the large number of people, the refugees must be directed in two directions. The solution is FLOOR-emergency sign panels close to the floor on the wall and suspended from the ceiling which directs the escaping crowd in two directions. To ensure that the escape route is clearly visible even in the event of a smoke, a flashlight on the directional arrows increases the attention. With this measure more people will be able to enjoy the event centre in the future.
