What fits in Banquet Room B
With a 3.1 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen A2 Pro (2.97 mm) runs 18 tiles wide by 2 high (36 tiles, 9 x 1 m, 3024 x 336 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 360 kg and draws up to 6.7 kW (32 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 122 theater, 50 banquet, or 34 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Absen A2 Pro | 2.97 mm | 18 x 2 = 36 | 9 x 1 m | 3024 x 336 | 360 kg / 794 lb | 6.7 kW, 32 A @ 208 V |

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 7 of the 7 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; square rooms were derived from published area only, so treat their shape as approximate. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
