ENTERTAINMENT: DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR INFECTION CONTROL. HE N D E R S ON IN SIG HTS | COVID-19 SERI ES
The entertainment industry, similar to the venue and restaurant industries, has felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. When doors reopen, these spaces, including theatres, casinos, exhibit halls, ballrooms, bowling alleys, and arcades, will need to implement design changes that support social distancing and infection control policies. We understand that creating a great experience is essential, and moving forward, that means helping you create an environment that feels safe for all occupants.
