Floorplans

A minimum of six (6) copies of accurately scaled floor plans of the event should be submitted to your Event Manager for submission to the Fire Department. Plans should include the size and location of all aisles, service aisles, utility floor ports, fire extinguishers and hoses, exits, entrance units, exhibits, general service contractor's booths, food stands or bars, registration areas, information tables, and other displays. The Licensee is required to construct, operate, and maintain the event according to the approved plans. Any changes required by the building must be made and re-submitted to the Rhode Island Convention Center previous to move-in.

Public aisles must be a minimum of 8' wide. Service aisles (double-back drape) must be adjacent to any booth receiving any utility, must be placed so that a utility box is inside of the aisle, and must be marked by double-back drape. No exhibitor materials can be stored in this aisle way. Any booth needing a utility that is not adjacent to a service aisle will incur additional charges to the Licensee.

Lobbies, concourses, pre-function areas, and the food facilities are considered public areas and not under Licensee control. All activities using public areas, such as registration, special exhibits or displays, etc, must be noted on the floorplan to be approved by the Center and the Fire Marshal. Temporary advertising and banner hanging is prohibited in the public/common areas and prefunction spaces without prior written approval of the Convention Center.

Please note that clear access must be maintained to all restaurants, cafeterias, lounges, permanent food service facilities, restrooms, telephones, as well as all exit or entrance doors.
