Assembly Spaces
Engineering the Fire and Life Safety Protection Needs of Large Occupancies
Fire protection engineering expertise is paramount for assembly occupancies, where large groups of people gather for various events, such as theaters, stadiums, concert halls, nightclubs, arenas, and conference centers. Ensuring the safety of occupants in these spaces is of utmost importance, and the licensed fire protection engineers at TERPconsulting play a pivotal role in achieving this.
