UK cinema chain Odeon has specified Evac+Chair International to provide emergency evacuation chairs to a new cinema complex in Wrexham.
The cinema has been equipped with seven Evac+Chair evacuation chairs, which will help mobility impaired individuals to quickly and safely leave the building in the event of an emergency.
The Evac+Chairs were installed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), which states that public buildings must provide adequate door facilities for all persons with disabilities when exiting a building.
Peter Alderman, head of construction for Odeon and UCI says: "I estimate that we have used Evac+Chairs in up to 18 of our new build cinemas as we have found they meet our needs in respect of our strategy for the evacuation of disabled people from developments built at an upper level, which is increasingly the case."
