maximum occupancy

Room's person cap

Maximum occupancy is the greatest number of people legally permitted in a space at one time.

Fire codes establish maximum occupancy for buildings, rooms, and vehicles based on safety considerations like exit capacity and fire suppression.

Signs reading Maximum Occupancy: 150 Persons appear near entrances of restaurants, theaters, and other public spaces.

Exceeding maximum occupancy can result in fines or forced evacuation.
